## 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
In case-control studiea where the outcome is not uncommon but the exposure is rare, invem sampling may be used to reduce the total number of subjecta required to find a fixed number of exposed w s and controls. The sampling distribution is negative binomial rather than binomial. Logistic regression
Relative risk estimation in case-control studies is based on the premise that the control groiip represents the underlying population. Often more than one control group is collected in order to minimize the possibility of accepting a false result. I n this paper it is assumed that a case is matched
