Efficient estimation in multi-phase case-control studies

چکیده
In this paper we discuss the analysis of multi-phase, or multi-stage, case-control studies and present an efficient semiparametric maximum-likelihood approach that unifies and extends earlier work, including the seminal case-control paper by Prentice & Pyke (1979) as well as work by Breslow & Cain (1988), Scott & Wild (1997), Breslow & Holubkov (1997), and others. The theoretical derivations apply to arbitrary binary regression models but we present results for logistic regression and show that the approach can be implemented by including additional intercept terms in the logistic model and then making some simple corrections to the score and information equations from the prospective loglikelihood.

By today, the technology of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) has been largely exploited in digital elevation model (DEM) generation and deformation mapping. Conventional InSAR technique exploits two SAR images acquired from slightly different angles, in which the information of elevation and deformation can be captured through processing of the phase difference of the image...
