β¦ Synopsis
Estimation of the relative riak from a rare disease is carried out using M : R matching. Both conditional and unconditional likelihood methods are wed, leading in each case to the same eatimate; a non-iterative estimate is elways available under dl : R metching, Y s 2. The method ale0 enebles the testing of homogeneity even when,informetion on the matching variate is unavailable and this is an advantage over logistio regreseion methods.

## Abstract To increase the efficiency of a study and to eliminate the effects of some nuisance confounders, we may consider employing a matchedβpair design. Under the commonly assumed quadrinomial sampling, in which the total number of matchedβpairs is fixed, we note that the maximum likelihood es
The Theory of double sampling as proposed by NEYMAN (1938) and subsequently used for successive sampling by JESSON (1942), YATES (1960), PATTERSON (1950), ECKLER (1955), KULDROFF (1963) and TIKKIWAL (1960, 1967) has been explored to develop a general estimator which can be used for estimation of par
Intended to resolve the problem of constructing a matched population-based control sample, haplotype relative risk techniques frequently suffer from loss of power for late-onset diseases due to unavailability of parental genotypes that are required to form parent-offspring pairs. However, much of th
