Less is more, except when less is less: Studying joint effects.

Genomics - 1 Jan 2009

Weinberg C R

Abstract excerpt

Most diseases are complex in that they are caused by the joint action of multiple factors, both genetic and environmental. Over the past few decades, the mathematical convenience of logistic regression has served to enshrine the multiplicative model, to the point where many epidemiologists believe that departure from additivity on a log scale implies that two factors interact in causing disease. Other terminology...
