Table 4.
Ratios of the imputation-corrected SE (that accounts for between imputation uncertainty) to the average SE from the ensemble runs from single-source models for all respiratory and all cardiovascular ED visits
Inflation of SE | ||
---|---|---|
Source | All respiratory | All cardiovascular |
Biomass burning | 1.341 | 1.164 |
Primary coal combustion | 1.206 | 1.260 |
Dust/resuspended soil | 1.028 | 1.020 |
Diesel-fueled vehicles | 1.333 | 1.112 |
Gasoline-fueled vehicles | 1.248 | 1.068 |
Secondary organic carbon | 1.387 | 1.044 |
SE = standard error. ED = emergency department. Inflation of SE calculated as the SE accounting for both between- and within-model uncertainty divided by the average of the SEs from the 10 models for each source-outcome combination (SE accounting for only within-model uncertainty).
