张金玲同学最近身体不大好,这一章我来翻译吧:)
翻译可是一件苦差事,得一个字一个字地敲键盘;
在这个严重依赖CTRL+C和CTRL+V的知识快餐年代年代,简直是苦行僧的生活哈!
不仅对那些专业的以翻译谋生的译者产生严重的敬仰之情,且滔滔不绝
当然对这次义务参与ME3翻译的全体坛友表示由衷的感谢。
让我们看看最终小人物的力量联合起来有多大O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
第十二章:病因图
12 Causal Diagrams
By Maria Glymour and Sander Greenland
From Modern Epidemiology(3rd Edition)
貌似国内这方面的资料非常少,感兴趣的话可以下载看看下面的资料。
Causal diagrams
Are graphical descriptions of more or less complex situations
Require us to set down clearly our assumptions about causal relationships
Given these assumptions* they enable us to:
Identify whether there is confounding
Identify which variables need to be controlled
Identify which variables should not be controlled
