### EXAMPLE 1: demonstrates how measurement error can lead to a type sign error in a covariate
### What kind of data invalidates fong + tyler?
### Even when you have a good predictor, if it's biased against a covariate you can get the wrong sign.
### Even when you include the proxy variable in the regression.
### But with some ground truth and multiple imputation, you can fix it.

## SETUP:
### we want to estimate x -> y; x is MAR
### we have x -> k; k -> w; x -> w is used to predict x via the model w.
### A realistic scenario is that we have an NLP model predicting something like "racial harassment" in social media comments
### The labels x are binary, but the model provides a continuous predictor
### simulation:
#### how much power do we get from the model in the first place? (sweeping N and m)
####
## one way to do it is by adding correlation to x.obs and y that isn't in w.
## in other words, the model is missing an important feature of x.obs that's related to y.
