We investigate the possible bias due to an erroneous missing at random assumption if adjusted odds ratios are estimated from incomplete covariate data using the maximum likelihood principle. A relation between complete case estimates and maximum likelihood estimates allows us to identify situations

We consider the selection of covariables for the covariance adjustment of parameter estimators in growth curve models. The procedure consists of obtaining the best subset of linear combinations of higher-order polynomials for minimizing the variance of the adjusted estimator of a particular linear c

## Abstract Family‐based tests of association between a candidate locus and a disease evaluate how often a variant allele at the locus is transmitted from parents to offspring. These tests assume that in the absence of association, an affected offspring is equally likely to have inherited either on
