  • Applying Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data

    by Timothy L. Lash, Matthew P. Fox, Aliza K. Fink ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Bias analysis quantifies the influence of systematic error on an epidemiology study’s estimate of association. The fundamental methods of bias analysis in epi- miology have been well described for decades, yet are seldom applied in published presentations of epidemiologic research. More recent advances in bias analysis, such as probabilistic bias analysis, appear even more rarely. We suspect that ... Read more
