Invited Commentary: Toward Better Bias Analysis

Paul Gustafson. Am J Epidemiol. .

Abstract

In this issue of the Journal, Lash et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2021;190(8):1604-1612) show how some previously published bias analyses could have been better. In investigation of one of their examples, we add some thoughts about routes to better bias analysis, particularly via exploration of a joint distribution of bias parameters and target parameters.

Keywords: Bayesian analysis; measurement error; misclassification; quantitative bias analysis.
