Monte Carlo simulation-based estimation for the minimum mortality temperature in temperature-mortality association study

Abstract Background Rich literature has reported that there exists a nonlinear association between temperature and mortality. One important feature in the temperature-mortality association is the minimum mortality temperature (MMT). The commonly used approach for estimating the MMT is to determine t...
