Sensitivity analysis for an unmeasured confounder: a review of two independent methods Análise de sensibilidade para um confundidor não observado: uma revisão de dois métodos independentes
One of the main purposes of epidemiological studies is to estimate causal effects. Causal inference should be addressed by observational and experimental studies. A strong constraint for the interpretation of observational studies is the possible presence of unobserved confounders (hidden biases). A...
