Book Logistic Regression with Misclassified Response and Covariate Measurement Error

Download or read book Logistic Regression with Misclassified Response and Covariate Measurement Error written by Anna E. McGlothlin and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a variety of regression applications, measurement problems are unavoidable because infallible measurement tools may be expensive or unavailable. When modeling the relationship between a response variable and covariates, we must account for the uncertainty that is inherently introduced when one or both of these variables are measured with error. In this dissertation, we explore the consequences of and remedies for imperfect measurements. We consider a Bayesian analysis for modeling a binary outcome that is subject to misclassification. We investigate the use of informative conditional means priors for the regression coefficients. Additionally, we incorporate random effects into the model to accommodate correlated responses. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are utilized to perform the necessary computations. We use the deviance information criterion to aid in model selection. Next, we consider data where measurements are flawed for both the response and explanatory variables. Our interest is in the case of a misclassified dichotomous response and a continuous covariate that is unobservable, but where measurements are available on its surrogate. A logistic regression model is developed to incorporate the measurement error in the covariate as well as the misclassification in the response. The methods developed are illustrated through an example. Results from a simulation experiment are provided illustrating advantages of the approach. Finally, we expand this model to incorporate random effects, resulting in a generalized linear mixed model for a misclassified response and covariate measurement error. We demonstrate the use of this model using a simulated data set.

Book Dealing with Measurement Error in Covariates with Special Reference to Logistic Regression Model  a Flexible Parametric Approach

Download or read book Dealing with Measurement Error in Covariates with Special Reference to Logistic Regression Model a Flexible Parametric Approach written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many fields of statistical application the fundamental task is to quantify the association between some explanatory variables or covariates and a response or outcome variable through a suitable regression model. The accuracy of such quantification depends on how precisely we measure the relevant covariates. In many instances, we can not measure some of the covariates accurately, rather we can measure noisy versions of them. In statistical terminology this is known as measurement errors or errors in variables. Regression analyses based on noisy covariate measurements lead to biased and inaccurate inference about the true underlying response-covariate associations. In this thesis we investigate some aspects of measurement error modelling in the case of binary logistic regression models. We suggest a flexible parametric approach for adjusting the measurement error bias while estimating the response-covariate relationship through logistic regression model. We investigate the performance of the proposed flexible parametric approach in comparison with the other flexible parametric and nonparametric approaches through extensive simulation studies. We also compare the proposed method with the other competitive methods with respect to a real-life data set. Though emphasis is put on the logistic regression model the proposed method is applicable to the other members of the generalized linear models, and other types of non-linear regression models too. Finally, we develop a new computational technique to approximate the large sample bias that my arise due to exposure model misspecification in the estimation of the regression parameters in a measurement error scenario.

Book Statistical Analysis with Measurement Error or Misclassification

Download or read book Statistical Analysis with Measurement Error or Misclassification written by Grace Y. Yi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph on measurement error and misclassification covers a broad range of problems and emphasizes unique features in modeling and analyzing problems arising from medical research and epidemiological studies. Many measurement error and misclassification problems have been addressed in various fields over the years as well as with a wide spectrum of data, including event history data (such as survival data and recurrent event data), correlated data (such as longitudinal data and clustered data), multi-state event data, and data arising from case-control studies. Statistical Analysis with Measurement Error or Misclassification: Strategy, Method and Application brings together assorted methods in a single text and provides an update of recent developments for a variety of settings. Measurement error effects and strategies of handling mismeasurement for different models are closely examined in combination with applications to specific problems. Readers with diverse backgrounds and objectives can utilize this text. Familiarity with inference methods—such as likelihood and estimating function theory—or modeling schemes in varying settings—such as survival analysis and longitudinal data analysis—can result in a full appreciation of the material, but it is not essential since each chapter provides basic inference frameworks and background information on an individual topic to ease the access of the material. The text is presented in a coherent and self-contained manner and highlights the essence of commonly used modeling and inference methods. This text can serve as a reference book for researchers interested in statistical methodology for handling data with measurement error or misclassification; as a textbook for graduate students, especially for those majoring in statistics and biostatistics; or as a book for applied statisticians whose interest focuses on analysis of error-contaminated data. Grace Y. Yi is Professor of Statistics and University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo. She is the 2010 winner of the CRM-SSC Prize, an honor awarded in recognition of a statistical scientist's professional accomplishments in research during the first 15 years after having received a doctorate. She is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute.

Book Covariate Measurement Error in Logistic Regression

Download or read book Covariate Measurement Error in Logistic Regression written by L. A. Stefanski and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a logistic regression model when covariates are subject to measurement error the naive estimator, obtained by regressing on the observed covariates, is asymptotically biased. This document introduces a bias-adjusted estimator and two estimators appropriate for normally distributed measurement errors; a functional maximum likelihood estimator and an estimator which exploits the consequences of sufficiency. The four proposals are studied asymptotically under conditions which are appropriate when the measurement error is small. A small Monte-Carlo study illustrates the superiority of the measurement-error estimators in certain situations. Additional keywords: mathematical models.

Book Logistic Regression with Covariate Measurement Error in an Adaptive Design

Download or read book Logistic Regression with Covariate Measurement Error in an Adaptive Design written by JoAnna Christine Crixell and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive designs are increasingly popular in clinical trials. This is because such designs have the potential to decrease patient exposure to treatments that areless efficacious or unsafe. The Bayesian approach to adaptive designs is attractivebecause it makes systematic use of prior data and other information in a way that is consistent with the laws of probability. The goal of this dissertation is to examine the effects of measurement error on a Bayesian adaptive design. Measurement error problems are common in a variety of regression applications where the variable of interest cannot be measured perfectly. This is often unavoidable because infallible measurement tools to account for such error are either too expensive or unavailable. When modeling the relationship between a response variable and other covariates, we must account for any uncertainty introduced when one or both of these variables are measured with error. This dissertation will explore the consequence of imperfect measurements on a Bayesian adaptive design.

Book Parameter Estimation for the Logistic Regression Model with Errors in Covariate

Download or read book Parameter Estimation for the Logistic Regression Model with Errors in Covariate written by Huyen D. Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a logistic regression model, when the covariate is measured with error, the estimators of the regression coefficient parameters can be biased. We propose a method for estimating parameters of a logistic regression with case-control data, when the covariate is subject to measurement error. The density of the covariate is estimated by using the deconvolution kernel density estimation. The parameters of the regression are estimated by the integrated squared distance based on the log ratio of the estimated density. We show the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators. Simulation study shows the superiority of the proposed method in different sample sizes and measurement error magnitudes scenario. The methodology is applied to estimating the relationship of systolic blood pressure and the presence of coronary heart disease.
