A simple method for estimating relative risk using logistic regression
BACKGROUND Odds ratios (OR) significantly overestimate associations between risk factors and common outcomes. The estimation of relative risks (RR) or prevalence ratios (PR) has represented a statistical challenge in multivariate analysis and, furthermore, some researchers do not have access to the available methods. OBJECTIVE To propose and evaluate a new method for estimating RR and PR by l...
متن کاملRe: "Estimating relative risk functions in case-control studies using a nonparametric logistic regression".
The authors describe an approach to the analysis of case-control studies in which the exposure variables are continuous, i.e., quantitative variables, and one wishes neither to categorize levels of the exposure variable nor to assume a log-linear relation between level of exposure and disease risk. A dose-response association of an exposure variable with a disease outcome can be depicted by est...
متن کاملEstimating Speaker Clustering Quality Using Logistic Regression
This paper focuses on estimating clustering validity by using logistic regression. For many applications it might be important to estimate the quality of the clustering, e.g. in case of speech segments’ clustering, make a decision whether to use the clustered data for speaker verification. In the case of short segments speakers clustering, the common criteria for cluster validity are average cl...
متن کاملWhat's the Risk? A simple approach for estimating adjusted risk measures from nonlinear models including logistic regression.
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a general method (called regression risk analysis) to estimate adjusted risk measures from logistic and other nonlinear multiple regression models. We show how to estimate standard errors for these estimates. These measures could supplant various approximations (e.g., adjusted odds ratio [AOR]) that may diverge, especially when outcomes are common. STUDY DESI...
متن کاملVisualizing Simple Logistic Regression Models using Mosaic Plots
For categorical data, the relationship between visual displays of the data and models is not very well explored, even though for categorical data and loglinear models strong relationships do exist. Starting from assessing odds ratios visually, interaction effects of variables can be examined using mosaic plots. Cumulative link models provide a way to describe trends between ordinal variables. I...
