Inferences About Exposure-Disease Associations Using Probability-of-Exposure Information
利用暴露概率信息推断暴露与疾病的关联
Unconditional and conditional likelihood methods are proposed for modeling odds and odds ratios relating a binary disease variable and an exposure variable that is only known probabilistically (e.g., via measurement of a Surrogate exposure variable), while adjusting appropriately for a vector of covariables. Assuming nondifferential errors, a probabilistic structure is developed that permits analysis of the marginal relation between disease and the Surrogate while…
