Cohort Sampling Schemes for the Mantel–Haenszel Estimator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many epidemiological studies, disease occurrences and their rates are naturally modelled by counting processes and their intensities, allowing an analysis based on martingale methods. Applied to the Mantel–Haenszel estimator, these methods lend themselves to the analysis of general control selection sampling designs and the accommodation of time-varying exposures.

In many epidemiological contexts, disease occurrences and their rates are naturally modelled by counting processes and their intensities, allowing an analysis based on martingale methods. These methods lend themselves to extensions of nested case-control sampling designs where general methods of control selection can be easily incorporated. This same methodology allows for extensions of the Man...
متن کاملEstimators of the Mantel-Haenszel variance consistent in both sparse data and large-strata limiting models.
This paper proposes a new estimator of the variance of the Mantel-Haenszel estimator of common odds ratio that is easily computed and consistent in both sparse data and large-strata limiting models. Monte Carlo experiments compare its performance to that of previously proposed variance estimators.

This commentary presents a new estiof matching variables, unmatched varimator of the variance of the natural log of ables, or both. This notation encompasses the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio and illusthe full spectrum of matched and untrates its application in typical case-control matched designs. For example, in the pairdesigns. In contrast with any single previmatched study, MI and Mo are alway...
متن کاملThe Mantel-Haenszel Procedure Revisited: Models and Generalizations
Several statistical methods have been developed for adjusting the Odds Ratio of the relation between two dichotomous variables X and Y for some confounders Z. With the exception of the Mantel-Haenszel method, commonly used methods, notably binary logistic regression, are not symmetrical in X and Y. The classical Mantel-Haenszel method however only works for confounders with a limited number of ...
متن کاملAccounting for centre-effects in multicentre trials with a binary outcome – when, why, and how?
BACKGROUND It is often desirable to account for centre-effects in the analysis of multicentre randomised trials, however it is unclear which analysis methods are best in trials with a binary outcome. METHODS We compared the performance of four methods of analysis (fixed-effects models, random-effects models, generalised estimating equations (GEE), and Mantel-Haenszel) using a re-analysis of a...
