Correction to: Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology (2010) 20, 101–111; doi:10.1038/jes.2009.5
In the above manuscript, a correction needs to be made to Eq. (7):
Instead of:
Using a two-sided test, the power to detect a significant positive association based on a surrogate model given the power of the true exposure model is
… and the value 1.96 is the critical value under the normal distribution function for a two-sided test.
It should read:
Using a one-sided test, the power to detect significant positive associations based on a surrogate model given the power of the true exposure model is:
… and the value 1.96 is the critical value under the normal distribution function for a one-sided test with significance level of 2.5%.

In the fifth paragraph instead of:
… the power to detect a significant positive association using a two-sided test based on the true exposure is
… and the value 1.96 is the critical value under a normal distribution.
. Plugging this expression into the expression for the power to detect a significant positive association using a two-sided test based on the surrogate, we get
