Mindel C. Sheps: Counted, dead or alive

My latest manuscript, “Mindel C. Sheps - Counted, dead or alive” will appear as a commentary in Epidemiology in 2023, half a century after Sheps’ death in 1973. This manuscript highlights Sheps’ important contributions to the discussion about choice between effect measures, and is also an attempt to simplify arguments I have made elsewhere in support of Sheps’ conclusions. The final author manuscript is now available as a preprint on arXiv, at https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10259
