Contrary to bias and confounding, effect modification is a biological phenomenon that refers to a true causal effect in which one exposure variable modifies the impact of another exposure variable on a specific outcome.

The propensity score is estimated using this new cholesterol variable, in addition to other covariates. This modified propensity score is then used to reduce the indication bias in a Cox proportional hazard model for time to incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints where time starts at entry...
Despite the above evidence for suppressor variables, these are rarely addressed in psychological research and a recent review found that only 3.57% of the articles containing evidence for the presence of suppressor variable acknowledged them (Martinez Gutierrez & Cribbie, 2021). As an example of ackn...
