Regression dilution bias: Tools for correction methods and sample size calculation
BACKGROUND Random errors in measurement of a risk factor will introduce downward bias of an estimated association to a disease or a disease marker. This phenomenon is called regression dilution bias. A bias correction may be made with data from a validity study or a reliability study. AIMS AND METHODS In this article we give a non-technical description of designs of reliability studies with e...
متن کاملSample size determination for logistic regression
The problem of sample size estimation is important in medical applications, especially in cases of expensive measurements of immune biomarkers. This paper describes the problem of logistic regression analysis with the sample size determination algorithms, namely the methods of univariate statistics, logistics regression, cross-validation and Bayesian inference. The authors, treating the regr...
متن کاملSample size calculation for epidemiologic studies: principles and methods.
This paper discusses the statistical principles, methods, and software programs used to calculate sample size. In addition, it reviews the practical challenges faced in calculating sample size. We show that because of such challenges, statistical calculations often do not provide us with a clear-cut number for the study sample size; rather they suggest a range of reasonable numbers. The paper a...

متن کاملDomain adaptation and sample bias correction theory and algorithm for regression
We present a series of new theoretical, algorithmic, and empirical results for domain adaptation and sample bias correction in regression. We prove that the discrepancy is a distance for the squared loss when the hypothesis set is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space induced by a universal kernel such as the Gaussian kernel. We give new pointwise loss guarantees based on the discrepancy of the ...
