DOES NONDIFFERENTIAL MISCLASSIFICATION OF EXPOSURE ALWAYS BIAS A TRUE EFFECT TOWARD THE NULL VALUE?
Abstract
The authors present some examples to demonstrate that in certain nondifferential misclassification conditions with polychotomous exposure variables, estimates of odds ratios for categories at intermediate level of risk can be biased away from the null or can change direction. In addition, the authors present two examples to demonstrate that the slope of the dose-response trend for the true distributions can change direction, creating a false inverse trend, even if the misclassification is nondifferential.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
