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 کاملDifferential misclassification arising from nondifferential errors in exposure measurement.
Misclassification into exposure categories formed from a continuous variable arises from measurement error in the continuous variable. Examples and mathematical results are presented to show that if the measurement error is nondifferential (independent of disease status), the resulting misclassification will often be differential, even in cohort studies. The degree and direction of differential...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Categorical Data with Misclassification Errors
In epidemiological studies, observed data are often collected subject to misclassification errors. In this paper, we discuss the Bayesian estimation for contingency table with misclassification errors. Employing the exact Bayesian computations to obtain posterior means as estimates, we are faced with computational difficulties. In order to find the posterior distribution, we apply the data augm...
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...
