Why Match? Investigating Matched Case-Control Study Designs with Causal Effect Estimation

Rose, Sherri; Laan, Mark van der - In: International Journal of Biostatistics 5 (2009) 1, pp. 1127-1127

Matched case-control study designs are commonly implemented in the field of public health. While matching is intended to eliminate confounding, the main potential benefit of matching in case-control studies is a gain in efficiency. Methods for analyzing matched case-control studies have focused...

Estimation Based on Case-Control Designs with Known Prevalence Probability

Laan, Mark van der - In: International Journal of Biostatistics 4 (2008) 1, pp. 1114-1114

Regular case-control sampling is an extremely common design used to generate data to estimate effects of exposures or … interest is low. Case-control sampling represents a biased sample of a target population of interest by sampling a … population of interest into an estimation method based on case-control sampling from this population. We show that this case …

Simple Optimal Weighting of Cases and Controls in Case-Control Studies

Rose, Sherri; Laan, Mark van der - In: International Journal of Biostatistics 4 (2008) 1, pp. 1115-1115

Researchers of uncommon diseases are often interested in assessing potential risk factors. Given the low incidence of disease, these studies are frequently case-control in design. Such a design allows a sufficient number of cases to be obtained without extensive sampling and can increase...
