Methods for adjusting for covariate measurement error in flexible modelling of functional form: results of a blinded, controlled neutral comparison simulation study
函数形式灵活建模中协变量测量误差的校正方法:一项盲法、受控的中立比较模拟研究
Covariate measurement error is pervasive in epidemiological research and distorts estimated exposure-outcome associations, yet correction methods have been studied almost exclusively under linear modelling assumptions. Their behaviour when the underlying association is non-linear and is itself estimated with flexible regression, remains poorly characterised. We report a blinded, multi-stage neutral comparison simulation study, conducted within the STRATOS initiative,…
