Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimators of Time-Dependent Accuracy Measures for Survival Outcome Under Two-Stage Sampling Designs
两阶段抽样下生存结局时变准确性指标的非参数极大似然估计
Large prospective cohort studies of rare chronic diseases require thoughtful planning of study designs, especially for biomarker studies when measurements are based on stored tissue or blood specimens. Two-phase designs, including nested case–control and case-cohort sampling designs, provide cost-effective strategies for conducting biomarker evaluation studies.Existing literature for biomarker assessment under two-phase designs largely focuses on simple inverse probability…
