Direct genetic effects and their estimation from matched case-control data.
In genetic association studies, a single marker is often associated with multiple, correlated phenotypes (e.g., obesity and cardiovascular disease, or nicotine dependence and lung cancer). A pervasive question is then whether that marker exerts independent effects on all phenotypes. In this paper, we address this question by assessing whether there is a genetic effect on one phenotype that is n...
متن کاملEstimation of nonparametric risk functions in matched case-control studies
In epidemiological studies one is interested in investigating the probability of disease depending on risk factors and in particular in detecting interactions of risk factors. Within the setting of parametric logistic regression interactions can be modeled only in a clumsy and limited way. Modeling the risk function nonparametrically, estimating it e.g. by a smoothing (thin plate) spline is att...

متن کاملEstimation of absolute risk from nested case-control data.
Benichou and Gail (1995, Biometrics 51, 182-194) describe methods for estimating the absolute risk of developing disease given a set of covariate values over a specified time interval from a case-control study within a cohort. The methods are most suitable for unmatched case-control studies, and are restricted to categorical covariates. Expanding on methods for estimating relative mortality fro...
