Odds ratio inference with dependent data
依赖数据下的优势比推断
When data can be presented as a series of k 2×2 tables with cell counts (xi ,ni−xi, yi, mi−yi), it is often assumed that xi and yi are binomially distributed. This paper deals with inference for the common odds ratio Ψ when the binomial assumption is invalid. When k increases, the consistency and asymptotic normality of the Mantel & Haenszel (1959) estimator is derived. The conditional maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be inconsistent and the asymptotic bias is…
