Confidence Regions in Curved Exponential Families: Application to Matched Case-Control and Survival Studies with General Relative Risk Function
弯曲指数族的置信域:一般相对风险函数下的配对病例对照与生存研究
Differential geometric methods are used to construct approximate confidence regions for curved exponential families. The $\alpha$-connection geometries discussed by Amari (1982), and another geometry introduced here, the $c$ geometry, are exploited to construct confidence regions. Survival and case-control studies with general relative risk functions are interpreted in the context of curved exponential families, and an example illustrates the construction of confidence…
