Analyzing population based genetic association studies with propensity score approach

Zhao, Huaqing - 2011

In population based genetic association studies, confounding due to population stratification (PS) arises when differences in both allele and disease frequencies exist in a population of mixed racial/ethnic subpopulations. Propensity scores are often used to address confounding in observational...

Causal inference with two-stage logistic regression -accuracy, precision, and application

Cai, Bing - 2010

Two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) and the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) are two approaches to instrumental variable (IV) analysis. While 2SPS and 2SRI with linear models are well-studied methods of causal inference, the properties of 2SPS and 2SRI for logistic binary outcomes have...

Copula Based Prediction Models: An Application to an Aortic Regurgitation Study

Kumar, Pranesh; Shoukri, Mohamed M. - 2007

Background: An important issue in prediction modeling of multivariate data is the measure of dependence structure. The use of Pearson's correlation as a dependence measure has several pitfalls and hence application of regression prediction models based on this correlation may not be an...

Interval Estimation and Optimal Design for the Within-subject Coefficient of Variation for Continuous and Binary Variables

Shoukri, Mohamed M.; Elkum, Nasser; Walter, Stephen D. - 2006

Background: In this paper we propose the use of the within-subject coefficient of variation as an index of a measurement's reliability. For continuous variables and based on its maximum likelihood estimation we derive a variance-stabilizing transformation and discuss confidence interval...
