Abstract excerpt
We revisit the usual conditional likelihood for stratum-matched case-control studies and consider three alternatives that may be more appropriate for family-based gene-characterization studies: First, the prospective likelihood, that is, Pr(D/G,A second, the retrospective likelihood, Pr(G/D); and third, the ascertainment-corrected joint likelihood, Pr(D,G/A). These likelihoods provide unbiased estimators of...
