Interpretational errors in statistical causal inference [PDF]
We formalize an interpretational error that is common in statistical causal inference, termed identity slippage. This formalism is used to describe historically-recognized fallacies, and analyse a fast-growing literature in statistics and applied fields.

Have We Learned to Explain?: How Interpretability Methods Can Learn to Encode Predictions in their Interpretations [PDF]
While the need for interpretable machine learning has been established, many common approaches are slow, lack fidelity, or hard to evaluate. Amortized explanation methods reduce the cost of providing interpretations by learning a global selector model that returns feature importances for a single instance of data.

Probability Models in Statistical Data Analysis: Uses, Interpretations, Frequentism-As-Model [PDF]
Note: Published now as a chapter in "Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Mathematical Practice" (Springer Nature, editor B. Sriraman, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-19071-2_105-1). The application of mathematical probability theory in statistics is quite controversial.

A statistical model for interpreting computerized dynamic posturography data [PDF]
Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) is widely used for assessment of altered balance control. CDP trials are quantified using the equilibrium score (ES), which ranges from zero to 100, as a decreasing function of peak sway angle. The problem of how best to model and analyze ESs from a controlled study is considered.
