β¦ Synopsis
We consider likelihood based inference in a class of logistic models for casecontrol studies with a partially observed covariate. The likelihood is a combination of a nonparametric mixture, a parametric likelihood, and an empirical likelihood. We prove the asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator for the regression slope, the asymptotic chi-squared distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic, and the consistency of the observed information, in both the prospective and the retrospective model.

Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the use and the effect of drugs in large numbers of people. The work relies largely on standard epidemiological principles, which, applied in a new context, bring particular constraints and opportunities.

## Abstract The possible evidence for association comprises three types of information: differences between cases and controls in allele frequencies, in parameters for HardyβWeinberg disequilibrium (HWD), and in parameters for linkage disequilibrium (LD). LD between marker and disease alleles resul
For modelling dose-response relationships in case-6ontrol studies the multiplicative logistic regression model, assuming the relative risk to be an exponential function of the dose, is widely known. If the relative risk is assumed to be a linear function of the dose, several authors (see e.g. ## BE
