Appendix G: Controls Approach

چکیده
Assessment of possible exposures to 2,3,7,8-TCDD originating from the IWD plant depends on comparison of 2,3,7,8-TCDD levels in serum of study subjects with some measure of the expected range of concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in the serum of the "typical population" not exposed to emissions from IWD, matched as far as possible to the study subjects in terms of at least age and gender, and preferably also taking account of percentage body fat, dietary habits and other relevant lifestyle factors. Possible approaches to establishing "typical population" levels include:

Post-Selection and Post-Regularization Inference in Linear Models with Very Many Controls and Instruments
In this note, we offer an approach to estimating structural parameters in the presence of many instruments and controls based on methods for estimating sparse high-dimensional models. We use these high-dimensional methods to select both which instruments and which control variables to use. The approach we take extends Belloni et al. (2012), which covers selection of instruments for IV models wi...
متن کاملEnkephalins in large bowel malignancy and in acute appendicitis.
Leucine and methionine enkephalins were measured by biological assay in normal colon, adenocarcinoma of the colon, carcinoma of the caecum, and in normal and inflamed appendix. Methionine enkephalin levels in both the adenocarcinomas and inflamed appendices were significantly higher than in normal controls. No significant change occurred in leucine enkephalin levels. The caecal tumours were ana...
