Association (OR) between A and Y (solid line) versus causal effect (log odds) of A on Y (dashed line) for a range of values of αA,αU, βU, and αAU. In each panel, along the x axis, one of these variables is varied from −3 to 3 (left panel: αA, mid-left panel: αU, mid-right panel: βU, right panel: αAU), and the other parameters are set to default values.
