摘要
利用加权估计方程方法,在广义病例-队列设计方案下,针对长度偏差数据,给出Cox模型中回归系数的估计,并证明在适当的条件下,所得估计量具有相合性和渐近正态性,且渐近方差具有显式表达,在实际应用中可由plug-in方法估计.
Using the method of weighted estimation equation,under the generalized case-cohort design scheme,we gave the estimation of regression coefficients in Cox's model for length-biased data.Under appropriate conditions,we proved that the obtained estimators were consistent and asymptotic normality,and the asymptotic variance was explicit expression.It could be estimated by the plug-in method in practical application.
