the Effects of Air Pollution on Human Mortality
Studies using regression techniques report their results using a variety of statistics. Evaluation of the consistency of findings, such as in a meta-analysis, requires calculating the statistical estimates of the effect reported in each study in a comparable manner. In this paper, the authors consider multiple linear regression, multiple Poisson regression, an logistic regression estimates. They present results that are needed to calculate, on a common basis, the slop of the regression function at a specified value, the elasticity function of the regression function at a specified value, the relative risk at a specified value, and the odds ratio at a specified value.
