A chapter in Drawing Inferences from Self-Selected Samples, 1986, pp 1-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This volume grew out of a multiplicity of concerns about the use of self-selected samples to draw causal inferences. Singer’s concern showed itself in the study of the efficacy of various drug rehabilitation programs; Heckman and Robb’s in studying the worth of job training programs; Glynn, Laird, and Rubin’s in a comparison of alcohol consumption level of two groups of individuals. John Tukey is interested in most things; if you can get his attention you will always depart wiser than when you arrived.
