Control of confounding of genetic associations in stratified populations.
To control for hidden population stratification in genetic-association studies, statistical methods that use marker genotype data to infer population structure have been proposed as a possible alternative to family-based designs. In principle, it is possible to infer population structure from associations between marker loci and from associations of markers with the trait, even when no informat...
متن کاملAdjusting for Time-Varying Confounding in Survival Analysis
Adjusting for Time-Varying Confounding in Survival Analysis In this paper we illustrate how directly including endogenous time-varying confounders in the model of the effect of an exposure on a response can lead to bias in discrete time survival analysis. An alternative to this method is Hernán, Brumback and Robins’ (1999) use of sample weights to adjust for endogenous time-varying confounding....
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Genetic Associations
ZAYKIN, DMITRI V. Statistical Analysis of Genetic Associations (Advisor: Bruce S. Weir) There is an increasing need for a statistical treatment of genetic data prompted by recent advances in molecular genetics and molecular technology. Study of associations between genes is one of the most important aspects in applications of population genetics theory and statistical methodology to genetic dat...
متن کاملAdjusting for Confounding with Text Matching∗
We identify situations in which conditioning on text can address confounding in observational studies. We argue that a matching approach is particularly well-suited to this task, but existing matching methods are ill-equipped to handle high-dimensional text data. Our proposed solution is to estimate a low-dimensional summary of the text covariates and condition on this summary via matching. We ...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis for interactions under unmeasured confounding.
We develop a sensitivity analysis technique to assess the sensitivity of interaction analyses to unmeasured confounding. We give bias formulas for sensitivity analysis for interaction under unmeasured confounding on both additive and multiplicative scales. We provide simplified formulas in the case in which either one of the two factors does not interact with the unmeasured confounder in its ef...
