A simulation study of confounding in generalized linear models for air pollution epidemiology
Article Abstract:
Research presented concerns the methodology of air pollution epidemiological research, and how air quality variables should be examined in order to produce meaningful results. A study of generalized linear models is presented, and findings suggest air pollution models which employ only a few toxic variables are at risk for unreliability.
