Fig. 1From: An improved method for the effect estimation of the intermediate event on the outcome based on the susceptible pre-identificationBIAS of the effect estimate under scenarios with different βz and different ν. βz is the true effect of the intermediate event on the outcome, ν is the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution of the intermediate event time and the outcome time, and r(%) is the proportion of the susceptible in the study populationBack to article page
