Handbook of Statistical Methods for Case-control Studies (1st edition.)

Handbook of Statistical Methods for Case-Control Studies is written by leading researchers in the field. It provides an in-depth treatment of up-to-date and currently developing statistical methods for the design and analysis of case-control studies, as well as a review of classical principles and methods. The handbook is designed to serve as a reference text for biostatisticians and quantitatively-oriented epidemiologists who are working on the design and analysis of case-control studies or on related statistical methods research. Though not specifically intended as a textbook, it may also be used as a backup reference text for graduate level courses.

Book Sections

• Classical designs and causal inference, measurement error, power, and small-sample inference
• Designs that use full-cohort information
• Time-to-event data
• Genetic epidemiology
