Commentary: dealing with measurement error: multiple imputation or regression calibration?
Cole et al. in this issue 2 propose that MI may also be useful in dealing with a second problem rife in epidemiology: exposure measurement error, which typically causes underestimation of exposure–disease associations (regression dilution bias). 3 They coin the acronym MIME (multiple imputation for measurement error) and show that this method can indeed remove regression dilution bias. How wide...
متن کاملSpatial prediction of soil electrical conductivity using soil axillary data, soft data derived from general linear model and error measurement
Indirect measurement of soil electrical conductivity (EC) has become a major data source in spatial/temporal monitoring of soil salinity. However, in many cases, the weak correlation between direct and indirect measurement of EC has reduced the accuracy and performance of the predicted maps. The objective of this research was to estimate soil EC based on a general linear model via using se...
متن کاملA revisit to correlation analysis for distortion measurement error data
In this paper, we consider the estimation problem of a correlation coefficient between unobserved variables of interest. These unobservable variables are distorted in a multiplicative fashion by an observed confounding variable. Two estimators, themoment-based estimator and the direct plug-in estimator, are proposed, and we show their asymptotic normality. Moreover, the direct plug-in estimator...
متن کاملCombining Field Data and Computer Simulations for Calibration and Prediction
We develop a statistical approach for characterizing uncertainty in predictions that are made with the aid of a computer simulation model. Typically, the computer simulation code models a physical system and requires a set of inputs—some known and specified, others unknown. A limited amount of field data from the true physical system is available to inform us about the unknown inputs and also t...
متن کاملCorrelated 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...
