ESTIMATION OF MULTIPLE RELATIVE RISK FUNCTIONS IN MATCHED CASE-CONTROL STUDIES
Abstract
A linear logistic model used to estimate multiple risk functions in both cohort and case-control studies is adapted for sampling plans wherein each case is matched with R controls. The resulting methodology substantially liberalizes current practice by permitting simultaneous analysis of multiple discrete and continuous risk factors. Interactions among risk factors, and between risk factors and matching variables, may be explored. Data from two studies of oesophageal cancer, one conducted among Singapore Chinese and the other on the Caspian littoral of Iran, illustrate the methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
