Measurement Error caused by Spatial Misalignment in Environmental Epidemiology
In some environmental epidemiology studies, the locations of exposure data and health assessments do not coincide. To overcome the misalignment problem, the health effects analysis often use the predictions from an exposure model, which contains some measurement error as predicted value but is unequal with the true exposures. Gryparis et al. (2009) focus on the framework for spatial measurement...
متن کاملMeasurement error caused by spatial misalignment in environmental epidemiology.
In many environmental epidemiology studies, the locations and/or times of exposure measurements and health assessments do not match. In such settings, health effects analyses often use the predictions from an exposure model as a covariate in a regression model. Such exposure predictions contain some measurement error as the predicted values do not equal the true exposures. We provide a framewor...
متن کاملPractice of Epidemiology Correlated Biomarker Measurement Error: An Important Threat to Inference in Environmental Epidemiology
Utilizing multiple biomarkers is increasingly common in epidemiology. However, the combined impact of correlated exposure measurement error, unmeasured confounding, interaction, and limits of detection (LODs) on inference for multiple biomarkers is unknown. We conducted data-driven simulations evaluating bias from correlated measurement error with varying reliability coefficients (R), odds rati...
متن کاملMeasurement issues in environmental epidemiology.
This paper deals with the area of environmental epidemiology involving measurement of exposure and dose, health outcomes, and important confounding and modifying variables (including genotype and psychosocial factors). Using examples, we illustrate strategies for increasing the accuracy of exposure and dose measurement that include dosimetry algorithms, pharmacokinetic models, biologic markers,...
متن کاملCausality, Measurement Error and Multicollinearity in Epidemiology
This paper demonstrates that measurement error can conspire with multicollinearity among explanatory variables to mislead an investigator. A causal variable measured with error may be overlooked and its significance transferred to a surrogate. The latter’s significance can then be entirely spurious, in that controlling it will not predictably change the response variable. In epidemiological res...
