Bayesian analysis of case-control studies with categorical covariates
含分类协变量的病例对照研究贝叶斯分析
In a case‐control study the appropriate likelihood is the ‘retrospective’ likelihood, i.e. the likelihood of exposure given disease. For the classical frequentist analysis, the ‘prospective’ likelihood, i.e. the likelihood of disease given exposure, and the retrospective likelihood produce the same odds‐ratio estimators for exposure, and so logistic regression may be used for both. The Bayesian analysis is not so simple, but the Bayesian framework for case‐control studies…
