Validation Study Methods for Estimating Odds Ratio in 2 × 2 × J Tables When Exposure is Misclassified
BACKGROUND Misclassification of exposure variables in epidemiologic studies may lead to biased estimation of parameters and loss of power in statistical inferences. In this paper, the inverse matrix method, as an efficient method of the correction of odds ratio for the misclassification of a binary exposure, was generalized to nondifferential misclassification and 2 × 2 × J tables. METHODS Si...
متن کاملEstimating the odds ratio when exposure has a limit of detection.
BACKGROUND In epidemiologic research, little emphasis has been placed on methods to account for left-hand censoring of 'exposures' due to a limit of detection (LOD). METHODS We calculate the odds of anti-HIV therapy naiveté in 45 HIV-infected men as a function of measured log(10) plasma HIV RNA viral load using five approaches including ad hoc methods as well as a maximum likelihood estimate ...
متن کاملBayesian inference about odds ratio structure in ordinal contingency tables
When the goal of a study is to compare two groups on an ordinal categorical scale, a large number of inferential methods are available. Most methods are designed to detect a location effect, such as by focusing a single-degree-of-freedom test on an effect parameter. Often, rather than merely summarizing by a P -value to describe the evidence against a null hypothesis, it is of interest to consi...
متن کاملExtended Matrix and Inverse Matrix Methods Utilizing Internal Validation Data When Both Disease and Exposure Status Are Misclassified.
The problem of misclassification is common in epidemiological and clinical research. In some cases, misclassification may be incurred when measuring both exposure and outcome variables. It is well known that validity of analytic results (e.g. point and confidence interval estimates for odds ratios of interest) can be forfeited when no correction effort is made. Therefore, valid and accessible m...
متن کاملTwo-stage instrumental variable methods for estimating the causal odds ratio: analysis of bias.
We present closed-form expressions of asymptotic bias for the causal odds ratio from two estimation approaches of instrumental variable logistic regression: (i) the two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) method and (ii) the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) approach. Under the 2SPS approach, the first stage model yields the predicted value of treatment as a function of an instrument and cova...
