In the season three premiere Matt and Hailey discuss Chapter 13 in Modern Epidemiology, 4th edition.

We also debate whether misclassification is just an analytic issue (i.e., putting people into the wrong categories) or an analytic + conceptual issue (i.e., putting people into the wrong categories and having an incorrect definition for those categories).
