title: [Methods of time series analysis effect of air pollution on mortality].
abstract: The paper describes main aspects of modeling of short-term effect of air pollution on mortality. Basic statistical tool--generalized additive models are presented as well as principles of inclusion of confounding variables in the model and measures of air pollution effect.
