Show HN: Debugging conflicting U.S. sexual behavior surveys

Debugging conflicting U.S. sexual behavior surveys is a company in show hn launch.

Profile

I'm the author of a new preprint that tries to resolve why major U.S. sexual behavior surveys appeared to report contradictory trends over the past decade. The key move is separating never-occurrence from temporary inactivity among the experienced, rather than averaging them together. That decomposition is applied symmetrically across surveys and validated against an independent dataset. The paper then treats the remaining discrepancy as a debugging problem: • check distributions for digit heaping and compression • look for stock–flow reversals consistent with under-reporting • compare adjacent survey waves for internal consistency • cross-validate against an external series not subject to t
