Binary Confounders as Mathematical Objects: Confounder Influence and Confounder Intervals

Confounding is present in most observational studies. Yet by its nature, confounding is not generally present in the data. In order to use statistical associations as evidence for causal connections, one must try to take into account the influence of confounding. This paper reviews the role of confounding in the epic debate between Cornfield and Fisher on the statistical association between smo...

Dr. Afshari’s editorial gives insight on human nature (1). Collaborative willingness usually occurs when different sides perceive personal benefit, or when institutions mandate collaboration. This is not unique between higher and lower income countries; many working in global emergency medicine (EM) observe this within wealthier countries. It exists among collaborators in low resource settings....
