Bayesian Sample Size Determination for Case-Control Studies
病例对照研究的贝叶斯样本量确定
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…
