在本文中，我介绍了一种估算颗粒物空气污染死亡率浓度响应函数的替代方法。该方法将颗粒物空气污染死亡率浓度响应函数限制为生物学上合理的，即颗粒物空气污染浓度的非递减函数。使用伊利诺伊州库克县的时间序列数据，所提出的方法可以产生更有意义的颗粒物空气污染死亡率浓度响应函数估计值，并提高统计准确性。
In this article I introduce an alternative method for estimating particulate air pollution mortality concentration-response functions. This method constrains the particulate air pollution mortality concentration-response function to be biologically plausible--that is, a non-decreasing function of the particulate air pollution concentration. Using time-series data from Cook County, Illinois, the proposed method yields more meaningful particulate air pollution mortality concentration-response function estimates with an increase in statistical accuracy.
