| Abstract | "Third-variable effect refers to the intervening effect of a third-variable on the observed relationship between an exposure and an outcome. The third-variable effect analysis differentiates the effect from multiple third variables that explain the established exposure-outcome relationship. Depending on whether there is a causal relationship from the exposure to the third variable to the outcome, the third-variable effect can be categorized into two major groups: mediation effect where a causal relationship is assumed and confounding effect where there is no causal relationship. A causal relationship can be established through randomized experiments"-- Provided by publisher. |
