失效时间长度偏倚抽样引起的协变量偏倚AI 解读

Although many authors have proposed different approaches to the analysis of length-biased survival data, a number of issues have not been fully addressed. The most important among these issues is perhaps that regarding inclusion of covariates into the analysis of length-biased lifetime data collected through cross-sectional sampling of a population. One aspect of this problem, which appears to have been neglected in the literature, concerns the effect of length bias on the…

病例对照研究的贝叶斯样本量确定AI 解读

Case-control studies are among the most commonly used means of assessing association between exposure and outcome. Sample size determination and the optimal control-to-case ratio are vital to the design of such studies. In this article we investigate Bayesian sample size determination and the control-to-case ratio for case-control studies, when interval estimation is the goal of the eventual statistical analysis. In certain cases we are able to derive approximate closed-form…

伴随右删失的长度偏倚抽样AI 解读

When survival data arise from prevalent cases ascertained through a cross-sectional study, it is well known that the survivor function corresponding to these data is length biased and different from the survivor function derived from incident cases. Length-biased data have been treated both unconditionally and conditionally in the literature. In the latter case, where length bias is viewed as being induced by random left truncation of the survival times, the truncating…
