Efficient estimation in multi-phase case-control studies
In this paper we discuss the analysis of multi-phase, or multi-stage, case-control studies and present an efficient semiparametric maximum-likelihood approach that unifies and extends earlier work, including the seminal case-control paper by Prentice & Pyke (1979) as well as work by Breslow & Cain (1988), Scott & Wild (1997), Breslow & Holubkov (1997), and others. The theoretical derivations ap...
متن کاملEfficient use of phase 1 information in two-phase case-control studies based on administrative databases
Population-based administrative databases are valuable data sources for scientific research. A common problem of studies based on secondary data is, however, missing confounder information. For instance in pharmacoepidemiological studies based on claims data of statutory health insurances, information on the potentially important confounders body mass index (BMI) and smoking behaviour is lackin...
متن کاملEfficient estimation for case-cohort studies
In this paper we consider time-to-event data from case-cohort designs. In view of the fact that the existing methods are either inefficient or requiring particular censoring assumptions, we develop a semiparametrically efficient estimator under the usual assumptions for Cox regression models. The estimator is obtained by one iteration of the Newton-Raphson algorithm that solves the efficient sc...
متن کاملCase(Control)-Free Multi-SNP Combinations in Case-Control Studies
Several genome-wide searches for disease-associated gene variations have been recently reported (Spinola et al, 2006; Herbert et al, 2006). However, complex diseases can be caused by combinations of several unlinked gene variations. Unfortunately, an exhaustive search among all possible corresponding multi-SNPs can be unfeasible even for small number of SNPs let alone the complete genome. Disea...
متن کاملEfficient Multi-frequency Phase Unwrapping Using Kernel Density Estimation
In this paper we introduce an efficient method to unwrap multi-frequency phase estimates for time-of-flight ranging. The algorithm generates multiple depth hypotheses and uses a spatial kernel density estimate (KDE) to rank them. The confidence produced by the KDE is also an effective means to detect outliers. We also introduce a new closed-form expression for phase noise prediction, that bette...
