Measurement Error caused by Spatial Misalignment in Environmental Epidemiology
In some environmental epidemiology studies, the locations of exposure data and health assessments do not coincide. To overcome the misalignment problem, the health effects analysis often use the predictions from an exposure model, which contains some measurement error as predicted value but is unequal with the true exposures. Gryparis et al. (2009) focus on the framework for spatial measurement...
متن کاملMeasurement error caused by spatial misalignment in environmental epidemiology.
In many environmental epidemiology studies, the locations and/or times of exposure measurements and health assessments do not match. In such settings, health effects analyses often use the predictions from an exposure model as a covariate in a regression model. Such exposure predictions contain some measurement error as the predicted values do not equal the true exposures. We provide a framewor...
متن کاملPractice of Epidemiology Correlated 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...
متن کاملMeasurement issues in environmental epidemiology.
This paper deals with the area of environmental epidemiology involving measurement of exposure and dose, health outcomes, and important confounding and modifying variables (including genotype and psychosocial factors). Using examples, we illustrate strategies for increasing the accuracy of exposure and dose measurement that include dosimetry algorithms, pharmacokinetic models, biologic markers,...
متن کاملSpatial statistics in environmental epidemiology
The planet earth is rich in carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen; it is third from the sun in an orbit that delivers just the right amount of heat and light; and it travels through space with a thin shell of protective ozone that has been crucial to the evolution of terrestrial-based organisms. Our environment has in recent times been seen as delicate and not to be taken for granted. The study of the i...
