Misclassification Bias in Strategy Research: Analysis and Application
Many issues in strategy and technology management are categorical. Errors in classification of the dependent variable cause systematic bias in regression estimates. In the context of the linear probability model, we characterize the misclassification bias as being proportional to the difference between two measures. One is the “bias” in the explanatory variable, conditional on false negative, m...
متن کاملMisclassification and Bias in Military Studies of Mefloquine
I read with interest the recent analysis by Eick-Cost and others, which examined associations among U.S. military personnel between various neurologic and psychiatric diagnoses and earlier use of mefloquine. Although not accounting formultiple hypothesis testing, the authors’ finding in subgroup analysis of a significantly increased risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with use of meflo...
متن کاملOveradjustment bias and unnecessary adjustment in epidemiologic studies.
Overadjustment is defined inconsistently. This term is meant to describe control (eg, by regression adjustment, stratification, or restriction) for a variable that either increases net bias or decreases precision without affecting bias. We define overadjustment bias as control for an intermediate variable (or a descending proxy for an intermediate variable) on a causal path from exposure to out...
متن کاملBias due to misclassification in the estimation of relative risk.
Lack of bias in the estimation of relative effect in epidemiologic studies depends on the internal validity of the study. This paper conveys in graphic and tabular form the direction and magnitude of bias due to misclassification of study subjects. A series of computer-generated graphs shows that the departure of the estimate of effect (relative risk or odds ratio) from its true value is a func...
