Checking assumptions #154

Closed LucyMcGowan closed 10 months ago

I propose we move "checking assumptions" to after we've introduced most of the concepts in the first section. I am pasting some notes under checking consistency here:

A good example is effect of SES on health: the assumption is that if you vary the components within the same SES level the same effect would occur. Can likely simulate some R code to show increasing income while lowering education to get same SES might result in different outcome. Make a note that this covers assumption 5 as well.
