Invited commentary: structural equation models and epidemiologic analysis.
In this commentary, structural equation models (SEMs) are discussed as a tool for epidemiologic analysis. Such models are related to and compared with other analytic approaches often used in epidemiology, including regression analysis, causal diagrams, causal mediation analysis, and marginal structural models. Several of these other approaches in fact developed out of the SEM literature. Howeve...
متن کاملThe authors respond to "structural equation models and epidemiologic analysis".
Dr. VanderWeele has provided an insightful commentary (1) on our article (2) on the use of structural equation modeling (SEM) as a tool for epidemiologic analysis. In his commentary, he illustrates the degree to which strong assumptions are made when conducting SEM analyses. For example, as described for regression analysis, linearity assumptions are made across all relations with the outcome v...
متن کاملInvited Commentary Invited Commentary: Dietary Pattern Analysis
The analytic approaches used in nutritional epidemiology for dietary pattern analyses share common characteristics with those of genetic epidemiology. In this issue of the Journal, Gorst-Rasmussen et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2011;173(10):1097–1104) discuss one such approach. Application of methods used in genetic pattern analyses to nutritional epidemiology could prove valuable but raises important...
متن کاملInvited Commentary Invited Commentary: Epidemiologic Studies of the Impact of Air Pollution on Lung Cancer
In this issue of the Journal, Villeneuve et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2014;179(4):443–451) present epidemiologic evidence supporting the literature on the adverse effects of air pollution on riskof lung cancer. They found that ambient exposure to volatile organic compounds, especially when measured at longer time scales, was associated with increased odds of lung cancer in citizens of Toronto, Ontar...
متن کاملInvited commentary: recruiting for epidemiologic studies using social media.
Social media-based recruitment for epidemiologic studies has the potential to expand the demographic and geographic reach of investigators and identify potential participants more cost-effectively than traditional approaches. In fact, social media are particularly appealing for their ability to engage traditionally "hard-to-reach" populations, including young adults and low-income populations. ...
