QUÉ SIGNIFICA CONFOUND EN INGLÉS

Confundir

Confounding

En las estadísticas, una variable de confusión es una variable extraña en un modelo estadístico que se correlaciona tanto con la variable dependiente como con la variable independiente. Una relación percibida entre una variable independiente y una variable dependiente que ha sido desestimada debido a la falta de contabilización de un factor de confusión se denomina relación espuria, y la presencia de desestimulación por esta razón se denomina sesgo de variable omitida. En el caso de evaluaciones de riesgo que evalúen la magnitud y la naturaleza del riesgo para la salud humana, es importante controlar la confusión para aislar el efecto de un peligro particular, como un aditivo alimentario, un plaguicida o un nuevo fármaco. Para estudios prospectivos, es difícil reclutar y seleccionar voluntarios con el mismo antecedente, y en estudios históricos, puede haber variabilidad similar. Debido a la incapacidad de controlar la variabilidad de los voluntarios y los estudios en humanos, la confusión es un reto particular. Por estas razones, los experimentos ofrecen una manera de evitar la mayoría de las formas de confusión. Por ejemplo, supongamos que existe una relación estadística entre el consumo de helado y el número de muertes por ahogamiento en un período dado.

In statistics, a confounding variable is an extraneous variable in a statistical model that correlates with both the dependent variable and the independent variable. A perceived relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable that has been misestimated due to the failure to account for a confounding factor is termed a spurious relationship, and the presence of misestimation for this reason is termed omitted-variable bias. In the case of risk assessments evaluating the magnitude and nature of risk to human health, it is important to control for confounding to isolate the effect of a particular hazard such as a food additive, pesticide, or new drug. For prospective studies, it is difficult to recruit and screen for volunteers with the same background, and in historical studies, there can be similar variability. Due to the inability to control for variability of volunteers and human studies, confounding is a particular challenge. For these reasons, experiments offer a way to avoid most forms of confounding. As an example, suppose that there is a statistical relationship between ice-cream consumption and number of drowning deaths for a given period.
