The extent to which the average number of hours per day spent indoors at home can be considered a good proxy for the average intensity of exposure to emissions from smoky coal depends on the assumption that the levels of exposures in the houses are similar after adjusting for some characteristics of the dwelling (type of stove used and number of rooms in the house).
"We're doing a lot of research now with the Vector Institute for AI… on fairness in our AI models, because what we've seen so far is that — if left unattended, if all we did was run these models and not adjust for some of the ethical considerations — we would just perpetuate biases that we've seen in the historical data," he adds.
However, non-response weights were applied to adjust for some of this bias.
Using a submission based denominator helps to adjust for some of the biases associated with this voluntary reporting system.
Although the study adjusted for some of the confounding factors, the role of residual confounding factors for the association between DM and TB cannot be ruled out.
In the first stage, microarray data are filtered and normalized, e.g. adjusted for some of the systematic and technical variation that affects the measured gene expression levels.
Models were adjusted for some of the major factors associated with both disability and SES: disease burden, Body Mass Index (BMI); and depressive symptomatology.
Further, for identifying factors associated with HCT uptake of primary or secondary school teachers, the variable level of school (being a primary or secondary school teacher) was adjusted for some of the selected sociodemographic factors like sex and age.
In addition, for examining HCT correlations with reported number of sexual partners and consistent use of condoms, the variable, ever had HCT, was adjusted for some of the selected sociodemographic factors like age and sex too.
The Ranch Hand (Ketchum and Michalek 2005) and BASF (Ott and Zober 1996) studies adjusted for some of the potential risk factors for CVD, but because the crude RRs were not shown, the magnitude of confounding could not be assessed.
