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 کاملEmpirical likelihood for cumulative hazard ratio estimation with covariate adjustment.
In medical studies, it is often of scientific interest to evaluate the treatment effect via the ratio of cumulative hazards, especially when those hazards may be nonproportional. To deal with nonproportionality in the Cox regression model, investigators usually assume that the treatment effect has some functional form. However, to do so may create a model misspecification problem because it is ...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric estimation of covariate-dependent ROC curves.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are widely used to measure the discriminating power of medical tests and other classification procedures. In many practical applications, the performance of these procedures can depend on covariates such as age, naturally leading to a collection of curves associated with different covariate levels. This paper develops a Bayesian heteroscedastic sem...
متن کاملInverse probability weighting for covariate adjustment in randomized studies.
Covariate adjustment in randomized clinical trials has the potential benefit of precision gain. It also has the potential pitfall of reduced objectivity as it opens the possibility of selecting a 'favorable' model that yields strong treatment benefit estimate. Although there is a large volume of statistical literature targeting on the first aspect, realistic solutions to enforce objective infer...
متن کاملAdjustment in covariance when one factor affects the covariate.
When a treatment influences both the primary response and the covariate, a standard analysis of covariance may misrepresent the real treatment effect by adjusting out that part of the effect which is manifest in the covariate. What parametric function should we examine if the treatments influence the covariate? An informative analysis would let the complete effects of the levels emerge, yet per...
