Ungrouped Poisson | Proportional hazards | Grouped Poisson | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
From proportional hazards and ungrouped Poisson regression with continuous exposure variables and grouped Poisson regression with quantitative exposure scores assigned by two methods, as shown. | ||||
*Beta coefficients represent the estimated change in the log rate or hazard or brain cancer per μT-year exposure to 60 Hz magnetic fields. | ||||
†Exposure categories defined by deciles of the population distribution of exposure. Scores assigned to exposure categories based on mean values for all person-time accrued in the category. | ||||
‡Exposure categories defined by deciles of the distribution of exposure among cases. Scores assigned to exposure categories based on mean values for all person-time accrued in the category. | ||||
Model | β (SE) | β (SE) | β† (SE) | β‡ (SE) |
Model 1: age, exposure | 0.0842 (0.0375) | 0.0842 (0.0375) | 0.1483 (0.0503) | 0.1123 (0.0392) |
