CHE SIGNIFICA CONFOUND IN INGLESE

confusione

Confounding

Nelle statistiche, una variabile confondente è una variabile estranea in un modello statistico che corrisponde sia alla variabile dipendente che alla variabile indipendente. Una relazione percepita tra una variabile indipendente e una variabile dipendente che è stata misurata a causa del mancato riconoscimento di un fattore confondente viene definita una relazione spurie e la presenza di misestazione per questo motivo viene definita come una polarizzazione omessa-variabile. Nel caso di valutazioni del rischio che valuta la grandezza e la natura del rischio per la salute umana, è importante controllare per confondere l'isolamento dell'effetto di un pericolo particolare quale un additivo alimentare, un pesticida o un nuovo farmaco. Per studi prospettici, è difficile reclutare e screenare i volontari con lo stesso background, e negli studi storici possono esistere variazioni simili. A causa dell'incapacità di controllare la variabilità dei volontari e degli studi umani, la confusione è una sfida particolare. Per questi motivi, gli esperimenti offrono un modo per evitare la maggior parte delle forme di confusione. Ad esempio, supponiamo che esista una relazione statistica tra il consumo di gelati e il numero di morti per annegamento per un determinato periodo.

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.
