Re: Don't you just love bad science? It's called a "case control" study; statistically, they're basically reversing the independent and dependent variables. Of course, idiot reporters like to report them the wrong way around; the study really shows that cancer patients are 2.4 times more likely than the control groups to have used a cell phone, not that cell phone users are 2.4 times more likely to get cancer. You have to use Bayes Theorem to reverse the numbers properly, to get predicted increase of risk for cell phone users. |
