Abstract
In linear least squares regression there exists a simple decomposition of the effect of an exposure on an outcome into two parts in the presence of an intermediate variable. This decomposition is described and then analogous decompositions for other models are examined, namely for logistic regression and proportional hazards models.
期刊介绍:
The Scandinavian Journal of Statistics is internationally recognised as one of the leading statistical journals in the world. It was founded in 1974 by four Scandinavian statistical societies. Today more than eighty per cent of the manuscripts are submitted from outside Scandinavia.
It is an international journal devoted to reporting significant and innovative original contributions to statistical methodology, both theory and applications.
The journal specializes in statistical modelling showing particular appreciation of the underlying substantive research problems.
The emergence of specialized methods for analysing longitudinal and spatial data is just one example of an area of important methodological development in which the Scandinavian Journal of Statistics has a particular niche.
