Testing Odds-Ratio Equality for Several Diseases
提出一种检验多种疾病比值比是否相等的统计方法,适用于匹配病例对照数据,计算量小于传统条件似然得分检验,并给出实用算法和功效讨论。
We present a test for the hypothesis that odds-ratios are constant across two or more diseases, using matched case-control data. The test requires less computing than the usual conditional likelihood score test (Prentice, 1979) because it excludes the control covariates. We give a practical algorithm to compute the test statistic and discuss its power.
