This genre of epidemiologic research presents considerable study design challenges, since crash rates vary by season, day of the week, and time of day. To minimize the effects of these extraneous factors, many studies use a double control matched design as laid out by Redelmeier and Tibshirani in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology in 2017. This design identified the particular days (or portions of a day) in which the condition/factor of concern was present. The concern might relate to a national election or holiday, or Super Bowl Sunday, or the change to/from daylight savings time (DST). For each such day of concern, and for each year for which data are available, two comparison days—seven days before and seven days after—are identified. The notation for the counts of interest on these three days is shown in Figure 1.

They may be coerced to such a format for relative ease of analysis, but this is not a strong justification. Past columns have explored new methods that exploit the natural structure of such data sets more directly. Topological data analysis (TDA) is one such method. Much daunting mathematics lies behind the methods of TDA, but it is possible to gain an idea and understanding of the approach and its potential usefulness even without a deep dive into the intricacies of topology, homology classes, and the like. In fact, the basic idea is quite simple: to study data through their low-dimension topological features, which translate into connected components (dimension 0), loops (dimension 1), and voids (dimension 2). Higher dimensions do exist, but often do not contain much useful information. For threedimensional data, up to the second dimension topological features can be considered at most. A good analogy to make the meaning of these features concrete is a piece of Swiss cheese. The piece of cheese itself is one connected component.

I was asked by CRC Press to review the new book; here are some (almost raw) extracts from my report, removing the parts that were addressed by the author before the book went to print. Overall, my enthusiasm for the book, its original (and of course, subjective) defense of the Bayesian approach, and its highly enjoyable style, remains intact, especially when backed by the proof-in-the pudding 2017 Pragmatics of Uncertainty, which I reviewed in a 2019 issue of CHANCE (32(1)). In Chapter 6, the proof of the Central Limit Theorem uses the “smudge” technique, which is to add an independent noise to both the sequence of rvs and its limit. This is most effective and reminds me of quite a similar proof Jacques Neveu used in probability notes at the École Polytechnique, which went under the more-formal denomination of convolution, with the same (commendable) purpose of avoiding Fourier transforms. If anything, I would have favored a slightly more-condensed presentation in fewer than eight pages. In Chapter 7, I found a nice mention of (Hermann) Rubin’s insistence on not separating probability and utility because only the product matters. And another fascinating quote from Keynes, not from his early statistician years, but in 1937 as an established economist:","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"31 1","pages":"54 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84103918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
