Covariate adjustment in family-based association studies.
Family-based tests of association between a candidate locus and a disease evaluate how often a variant allele at the locus is transmitted from parents to offspring. These tests assume that in the absence of association, an affected offspring is equally likely to have inherited either one of the two homologous alleles carried by a parent. However, transmission distortion was documented in famili...
متن کاملJoint modeling of recurrent event processes and intermittently observed time-varying binary covariate processes.
When conducting recurrent event data analysis, it is common to assume that the covariate processes are observed throughout the follow-up period. In most applications, however, the values of time-varying covariates are only observed periodically rather than continuously. A popular ad-hoc approach is to carry forward the last observed covariate value until it is measured again. This simple approa...
متن کاملJoint covariate selection for grouped classification
We address the problem of recovering a common set of covariates that are relevant simultaneously to several classification problems. We propose a joint measure of complexity for the group of problems that couples covariate selection. By penalizing the sum of `2-norms of the blocks of coefficients associated with each covariate across different classification problems, we encourage similar spars...
متن کاملOn the Validity of Covariate Adjustment for Estimating Causal Effects
Identifying effects of actions (treatments) on outcome variables from observational data and causal assumptions is a fundamental problem in causal inference. This identification is made difficult by the presence of confounders which can be related to both treatment and outcome variables. Confounders are often handled, both in theory and in practice, by adjusting for covariates, in other words c...
متن کاملNonparametric Covariate Adjustment for Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves
The accuracy of a diagnostic test is typically characterised using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Summarising indexes such as the area under the ROC curve (AUC) are used to compare different tests as well as to measure the difference between two populations. Often additional information is available on some of the covariates which are known to influence the accuracy of such ...
