Re: Ozone-mortality effect estimates









Dear Young,

Attached files include RR, 95% CI, t-ratios, beta, se, and the 

5th-to-95th %ile increment of the pollutants for which the RR's were 

computed.  I wasn't sure which lags or outcomes you were interested, 

so I am giving you the whole thing, including all the pollutants. 

See the keys below for study period, outcomes, pollutant (ozone is 5) 

and lags (note '4' is not lag 4 day, but average of 0 and 1 day lags, 

etc.).  'all_def_GAM.csv', 'all_str_GAM.csv', and 'all_glm.csv' are 

default GAM, strict GAM, and GLM results, respectively.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kaz

>>Dear Kaz,

>>

of
