Poisson Regression in Epidemiology
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Various authors [3, 9, 11, 12] have noted that Poisson regression can be used to analyze cohort survival data (see Cohort Study). This formulation also leads to a unification of risk estimation based on internal comparison of rates among members of a cohort with various exposure levels and classical epidemiologic methods based on external rates that yield standardized mortality ratios or standardized incidence ratios [2, 5] (see Standardization Methods). Poisson regression is an important alternative to partial-likelihood-based analysis of the proportional hazards model (see Cox Regression Model) and to parametric analyses of such models (see Survival Analysis, Overview) for two main reasons. First, it provides an efficient and intuitive method for dealing with cumulative exposures and other time-dependent covariates and for allowing risk to depend on multiple time scales (e.g. attained age, time since exposure, or calendar time). Secondly, it facilitates the consideration of a broad range of risk models including those that allow for the direct parametric description of baseline rates, absolute excess rates, and relative risks. Breslow & Day [4] offer a general discussion of the use of Poisson regression in the analysis of cohort survival data. Some of the most extensive applications of these methods have involved studies of radiation effects on mortality and cancer incidence in the atomic bomb survivors [14].

متن کاملPerformance of the modified Poisson regression approach for estimating relative risks from clustered prospective data.
Modified Poisson regression, which combines a log Poisson regression model with robust variance estimation, is a useful alternative to log binomial regression for estimating relative risks. Previous studies have shown both analytically and by simulation that modified Poisson regression is appropriate for independent prospective data. This method is often applied to clustered prospective data, d...
متن کاملA modified poisson regression approach to prospective studies with binary data.
Relative risk is usually the parameter of interest in epidemiologic and medical studies. In this paper, the author proposes a modified Poisson regression approach (i.e., Poisson regression with a robust error variance) to estimate this effect measure directly. A simple 2-by-2 table is used to justify the validity of this approach. Results from a limited simulation study indicate that this appro...

The Liu estimator has consistently been demonstrated to be an attractive shrinkage method for reducing the effects of multicollinearity. The Poisson regression model is a well-known model in applications when the response variable consists of count data. However, it is known that multicollinearity negatively affects the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the Poisson regressio...
