Optimal sampling strategies for two-stage studies.
The optimal allocation of available resources is the concern of every investigator in choosing a study design. The recent development of statistical methods for the analysis of two-stage data makes these study designs attractive for their economy and efficiency. However, little work has been done on deriving two-stage designs that are optimal under the kinds of constraints encountered in practi...
متن کاملTwo-Stage sampling designs for gene association studies.
We consider two-stage case-control designs for testing associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and disease, in which a subsample of subjects is used to select a panel of "tagging" SNPs that will be considered in the main study. We propose a pseudolikelihood [Pepe and Flemming, 1991: JASA 86:108-113] that combines the information from both the main study and the substudy to t...
متن کاملTwo-stage sampling for etiologic studies. Sample size and power.
Preexisting computerized databases are potentially valuable sources of epidemiologic data. Since such databases are infrequently created specifically for etiologic research, data may be available for the exposure of interest and, through record linkage, for the endpoint of interest, but lacking for potential confounders. Because of the size of these databases, two-stage sampling is an efficient...
متن کاملOptimal designs for two-stage genome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies require genotyping hundreds of thousands of markers on thousands of subjects, and are expensive at current genotyping costs. To conserve resources, many GWA studies are adopting a staged design in which a proportion of the available samples are genotyped on all markers in stage 1, and a proportion of these markers are genotyped on the remaining samples in s...
متن کاملOptimal sampling strategies for multiscale stochastic processes
In this paper, we determine which non-random sampling of fixed size gives the best linear predictor of the sum of a finite spatial population. We employ different multiscale superpopulation models and use the minimum mean-squared error as our optimality criterion. In multiscale superpopulation tree models, the leaves represent the units of the population, interior nodes represent partial sums o...
