Details: Speaker: Todd Steury (Wildlife Ecology, Auburn University) Title: Confounding effects: The most devilish problem in the sciences
Abstract: Collinearity and confounding effects are pervasive problems in many scientific fields, especially those in which manipulative experimental studies are not possible. Yet many scientists do not fully understand how collinearity and confounding effects influence their results or what to do about them. In this talk, I explain what collinearity and confounding effects are, how they influence the results of your statistical analyses and scientific results, and what can be done to address problems with confounding effects and collinearity. I use simple statistical examples and simulations to explain collinearity and confounding effects in terms that even non-statisticians should be able to understand. Finally, I give several examples from natural resource fields (my area of expertise) of how confounding effects have resulted in erroneous scientific conclusions in the past.
