The Cross-Product Estimator in Matched Case-Control Studies
匹配病例对照研究中的交叉乘积估计量
This paper is devoted to a study of the unmatched cross-product estimator of relative risk in a I : M matched case-control study. It is shown that this estimator is consistent for the ‘case-adjusted relative risk’ in rare disease settings. The cross-product estimator has a much wider range of applicability than the classical matched methods, which require a conditionally independent binomial model with a common odds ratio. In general, the methods estimate different…
