Pooling 2 Times 2 Tables: Asymptotic Moments of Estimators
合并二乘二列联表:估计量的渐近矩
SUMMARY Consider J independent pairs of mutually independent binomial variates which can be considered as 72 times 2 tables. We assume a common measure of association, such as the odds ratio, between the tables. This paper studies the asymptotic moments of the ‘pooled' estimators, i.e. those constructed from the data summed over all the tables. For balanced designs, or proportional subclass numbers, it is shown that the pooled estimator of the common odds ratio is…
