Gaseous pollutants in particulate matter epidemiology: confounders or surrogates?
Air pollution epidemiologic studies use ambient pollutant concentrations as surrogates of personal exposure. Strong correlations among numerous ambient pollutant concentrations, however, have made it difficult to determine the relative contribution of each pollutant to a given health outcome and have led to criticism that health effect estimates for particulate matter may be biased due to confo...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Self-adjusting Bandwidth Bandpass Filter without IIR Bias
In this paper we introduce a simple, computationally inxepentsive, adaptive recursive structure for enhancing bandpass signals highly corrupted by broad-band noise. This adaptive algorithm, enhancing input signals, enables us to estimate the center frequency and the bandwidth of the input signal. In addition, an important feature of the proposed structure is that the conventional bias existing ...
متن کاملAdjusting confounders in ranking biomarkers: a model-based ROC approach
High-throughput studies have been extensively conducted in the research of complex human diseases. As a representative example, consider gene-expression studies where thousands of genes are profiled at the same time. An important objective of such studies is to rank the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers (e.g. gene expressions) for predicting outcome variables while properly adjusting for confou...

متن کاملAdjusting for Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis
We review and evaluate selection methods, a prominent class of techniques first proposed by Hedges (1984) that assess and adjust for publication bias in meta-analysis, via an extensive simulation study. Our simulation covers both restrictive settings as well as more realistic settings and proceeds across multiple metrics that assess different aspects of model performance. This evaluation is tim...
