Regression dilution bias: Tools for correction methods and sample size calculation

BACKGROUND Random errors in measurement of a risk factor will introduce downward bias of an estimated association to a disease or a disease marker. This phenomenon is called regression dilution bias. A bias correction may be made with data from a validity study or a reliability study. AIMS AND METHODS In this article we give a non-technical description of designs of reliability studies with e...

Commentary: dealing with measurement error: multiple imputation or regression calibration?

Cole et al. in this issue 2 propose that MI may also be useful in dealing with a second problem rife in epidemiology: exposure measurement error, which typically causes underestimation of exposure–disease associations (regression dilution bias). 3 They coin the acronym MIME (multiple imputation for measurement error) and show that this method can indeed remove regression dilution bias. How wide...

Nonlinear Models of Measurement Errors

Measure errors in economic data are pervasive and nontrivial in size. The presence of measurement errors causes biased and inconsistent parameter estimates and leads to erroneous conclusions to various degrees in economic analysis. The importance of measurement errors in analyzing the empirical implications of economic theories is highlighted in Milton Friedman’s seminal book on the consumption...

The effect of measurement error in risk factors that change over time in cohort studies: do simple methods overcorrect for 'regression dilution'?

BACKGROUND The attenuation of the relationship between disease and a risk factor subject to error through 'regression dilution' is well recognized, and researchers often make attempts to adjust for its effects. However, the adjustment methods most often adopted in cohort studies make an implicit assumption that the relationship is driven exclusively by current error-free levels of the risk fact...

Regression dilution bias in blood pressure and body mass index in a longitudinal population-based cohort study.

BACKGROUND Use of single measurement of risk factors can distort their estimated effects, due to random error in measurements. The aim of this study was to examine the extent of underestimation in the estimated effect of common variables in physical exam i.e. systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) and body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular diseases in Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (...
