Classic paper on interactions

The following is a classic paper on the concept of interaction from an epidemiology and public health perspective. I highly recommend it for those new to the area. Rothman specifically discusses statistical vs. biological interaction.

Here is another one of my favorite papers by Dr. Rothman. Those of you that struggle with the appropriate correction for multiple testing should read this.

Here is a new paper by Rothman that I have not read yet. Let me know how you like it.
