On the estimation of inclusion probabilities for weighted analyses of nested case control studies
嵌套病例对照研究加权分析中的纳入概率估计
Nested case-control (NCC) studies are a widely adopted design in epidemiology to investigate exposure-disease relationships. This paper examines weighted analyses in NCC studies, focusing on two prominent weighting methods: Kaplan-Meier (KM) weights and Generalized Additive Model (GAM) weights. We consider three target estimands: log-hazard ratios, conditional survival, and associations between exposures. While KM- and GAM-weights are generally robust, we identify specific…
