Combining previously published studies with current data in Bayesian logistic regression model: an example for identifying susceptibility genes related to lung cancer in humans.

Abstract excerpt

A general analysis method is proposed that utilizes meta-analysis to incorporate similar studies in addition to our current investigation in order to obtain informative prior effect parameters in a logistic regression model. It is common in epidemiological studies that data from similar previous studies are available. The case of gene susceptibility association with increased lung cancer frequency was used to...
