Improving the Efficiency of Relative-Risk Estimation in Case-Cohort Studies
提高病例队列研究中相对风险估计的效率
The case-cohort design is a common means of reducing the cost of covariate measurements in large failure-time studies. Under this design, complete covariate data are collected only on the cases (i. e., the subjects whose failure times are uncensored) and on a subcohort randomly selected from the whole cohort. In many applications, certain covariates are readily measured on all cohort members, and surrogate measurements of the expensive covariates also may be available. The…
