Escort monthly income by BMI, from my escort survey I've had open for a while. Sample size is still kinda low, like n=~30 per bin, and this is sampling escorts online enough to take my survey, but there still looks like a trend I'd expect. Interesting to see the degree of impact!

Soooo many things wrong with this. A sample size of 30?!?! Mo. income is estimated (by the researcher, not the respondent)? Only using online escorts when many SWs work exclusively in person creates additional bias. Additionally,BMI is outdated & <19 is unhealthy for most people

each bin sample is around 30, as I said in the original tweet. bins are how you cluster the data. the full sample size was around 160.

Right, but there’s still kind of a problem here when the bins are that small—the variance of a bin is proportional to the (expected) number of people who fall in it, not the overall sample size! This is why scatter plots are usually preferred for continuous data like this

I stand by my original comment. 160 is still small. Why not wait a little longer b4 sharing this? I get it’s continuous data, but I still stand by my reasons it’s problematic. You are removing a huge # of ptl respondents by only doing these surveys online & spitting them as fact.

I mean this completely respectfully, too. You seem to have a lot of time dedicated to this, why not devise a way to canvas local street workers? Maybe get friends in other cities to do the same? If not, maybe just base this off exclusively online SWs.

And I stand corrected for reading your original tweet incorrectly. I briefly glanced at it before responding.
