The analysis of case-control data using logistic regression involves making some critical model assumpt.ions. In the analysis of matched data for which the values of the matching variable(s) are unavailable, use of logistic regression presuppoees that odds ratios are homogeneous over the levels of t
## 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 relative risk is an important parameter in certain epidemiological studies. It is given by the ratio of the rates of developing a certain disease between the exposed and the control group. This paper deals with the Bayesian estimation of the relative risk using: (a) uniform [0,1] priors; (b) res
