Dear Tipsters,
I have read the paper alluded to and would agree that the method is
ex post facto: poets were classified after the fact as suicidal or
not and the samples were classifed as from early, middle or late
stages of the career.. There other variables too, but the two I
mention would justify the ex post facto label.
