QUE SIGNIFIE CONFOUND EN ANGLAIS

Confondre

Confounding

Dans les statistiques, une variable confondante est une variable étrangère dans un modèle statistique qui correspond à la variable dépendante et à la variable indépendante. Une relation perçue entre une variable indépendante et une variable dépendante qui a été mise en évidence en raison de l'incapacité de prendre en compte un facteur de confusion est appelée une relation parasite, et la présence d'une mauvaise estimation pour cette raison est appelée partialité omise-variable. Dans le cas d'une évaluation des risques évaluant l'ampleur et la nature des risques pour la santé humaine, il est important de contrôler la confusion pour isoler l'effet d'un danger particulier tel qu'un additif alimentaire, un pesticide ou un nouveau médicament. Pour les études prospectives, il est difficile de recruter et d'examiner les bénévoles ayant le même fond, et dans les études historiques, il existe une variabilité similaire. En raison de l'incapacité de contrôler la variabilité des volontaires et des études humaines, la confusion est un défi particulier. Pour ces raisons, les expériences offrent un moyen d'éviter la plupart des formes de confusion. Par exemple, supposons qu'il existe une relation statistique entre la consommation de glaces et le nombre de décès par noyade pendant une période donnée.

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.
