MODELING AND INVESTIGATION OF A CONFUSING VARIABLE USING LINEAR REGRESSION MODELS

Buchnev O. S., Atalyan A. V.

modeling of the impact of a confounding variable was carried out when the exposure is binary, and the confounding variable and the response variable are continuous. Experiments were carried out with the model. Linear regression models were used to examine the change in the value of the regression coefficient and the standard error of the regression coefficient before and after including the confounding variable in the regression model.
