What are the Limitations of Regression Analysis in Epidemiology?
While regression analysis is a powerful tool, it has some limitations:
Causality: Regression analysis can identify associations but cannot prove causation. Confounding Variables: Unmeasured confounders can bias the results. Model Complexity: Overfitting can occur if too many variables are included, while underfitting can happen if important variables are omitted. Data Quality: The accuracy of the results depends on the quality and completeness of the data.
