Handbook of Statistical Methods for Case-Control Studies (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Borgan, Ørnulf; Wild, Chris J.; Scott, Alastair; Gail, Mitchell H.; Chatterjee, Nilanjan; Breslow, Norman

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This handbook provides an in-depth treatment of up-to-date and currently developing statistical methods for the design and analysis of case-control studies, with a primary focus on case-control studies in epidemiology. Authors will be encouraged to illustrate the statistical methods they describe by application to datasets that are either already publicly available or can be made so. A handbook website will be established that provides readers access to those datasets and software used to analyze them. Wherever feasible, authors will be asked to construct their examples using the R statistical language, though programs in SAS, Stata or other common languages will also be accepted.

Autorenporträt

Ørnulf Borgan is Professor of Statistics, University of Oslo. His book with Andersen, Gill and Keiding on counting processes in survival analysis is a world classic. Norman E. Breslow was, at the time of his death, Professor Emeritus in Biostatistics, University of Washington. For decades, his book with Nick Day has been the authoritative text on case-control methodology. Nilanjan Chatterjee is Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Johns Hopkins University. He leads a broad research program in statistical methods for modern large scale biomedical studies. Mitchell H. Gail is a Senior Investigator at the National Cancer Institute. His research includes modeling absolute risk of disease, intervention trials, and statistical methods for epidemiology. Alastair Scott was, at the time of his death, Professor Emeritus of Statistics, University of Auckland. He was a major contributor to using survey sampling methods for analyzing case-control data. Chris J. Wild is Professor of Statistics, University of Auckland. His research includes nonlinear regression and methods for fitting models to response-selective data.

Rezensionen

"This book is essential reading and reference for any statistical methodologist with interest in case-control
studies...This book is a very good place to start on the next leg of our statistical journey in this field."
~Nicholas P. Jewell, ISCB Newsletter

" . . . as a handbook, it is designed to address specific methodological issues, more like a toolbox. And this is done well. All chapters come with an introduction and a worked example using sample data, with ample reference to further details. Occasional chapters on unconventional study designs provide food for thought. Overall, the book is well written and very comprehensive; it provides help for many situations, and for situations of greater complexity it points to further references."
~Anika Hüsing, Biometrical Journal
