STATISTICAL METHODS FOR THE COMMON ODDS RATIO OF A NUMBER OF CONTINGENCY TABLES

本研究将开发统计方法， 标准化风险差异和常见的优势比， 列联表 最优性性质的发展 将研究和制定方法。 的可能性 将导出方程。 加权总数，最大似然 并将审查条件最大似然法。 该研究已扩展到做一些应急比较 表格的形式进行假设检验。 所有这些方法都有 广泛应用于流行病学研究，生物医学研究， 遗传学和其他学科。 例子包括测试哈代- 跨阶层的温伯格定律和比较黑人与白人的差异 出生体重特定婴儿死亡率曲线。

This study will develop statistical methods for estimating the standardized risk difference and the common odds ratio for a number of contingency tables. The optimality properties of the developed methodology will be investigated and established. The likelihood equations are to be derived. The weighted total, the maximum likelihood and the conditional maximum likelihood methodologies are to be examined. The study has been extended to do comparison of a number of contingency tables in the form of hypothesis testing. All these methodologies have wide applications to epidemiological studies, biomedical studies, genetics and other disciplines. Examples include testing the Hardy- Weinberg Law across strata and comparing the black-white differences in birth weight specific infant mortality curves.
