Omitting continuous covariates in binary regression models: implications for sensitivity and mediation analysis
二元回归中遗漏连续协变量:敏感性与中介分析
By exploiting the theory of skew-symmetric distributions, we generalise existing results in sensitivity analysis by providing the analytic expression of the bias induced by marginalization over an unobserved continuous confounder in a logistic regression model. The expression is approximated and mimics Cochran's formula under some simplifying assumptions. Other link functions and error distributions are also considered. A simulation study is performed to assess its…
