Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Handbooks of Modern Statistical Methods

Handbook of Statistical Methods for Case-Control Studies is written by leading researchers in the field. It provides an in-depth treatment of up-to-date and currently developing statistical methods for the design and analysis of case-control studies, as well as a review of classical principles and methods. The handbook is designed to serve as a reference text for biostatisticians and quantitatively-oriented epidemiologists who are working on the design and analysis of case-control studies or on related statistical methods research. Though not specifically intended as a textbook, it may also be used as a backup reference text for graduate level courses.

Book Sections

Classical designs and causal inference, measurement error, power, and small-sample inference

Designs that use full-cohort information

Time-to-event data

Genetic epidemiology

About the Editors

Ørnulf Borgan is Professor of Statistics, University of Oslo. His book with Andersen, Gill and Keiding on counting processes in survival analysis is a world classic.

Norman E. Breslow was, at the time of his death, Professor Emeritus in Biostatistics, University of Washington. For decades, his book with Nick Day has been the authoritative text on case-control methodology.

Nilanjan Chatterjee is Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Johns Hopkins University. He leads a broad research program in statistical methods for modern large scale biomedical studies.

Mitchell H. Gail is a Senior Investigator at the National Cancer Institute. His research includes modeling absolute risk of disease, intervention trials, and statistical methods for epidemiology.

Alastair Scott was, at the time of his death, Professor Emeritus of Statistics, University of Auckland. He was a major contributor to using survey sampling methods for analyzing case-control data.

Chris J. Wild is Professor of Statistics, University of Auckland. His research includes nonlinear regression and methods for fitting models to response-selective data.

Reviews for Handbook of Statistical Methods for Case-Control Studies

This book is essential reading and reference for any statistical methodologist with interest in case-control studies...This book is a very good place to start on the next leg of our statistical journey in this field. ~Nicholas P. Jewell, ISCB Newsletter . . . as a handbook, it is designed to address specific methodological issues, more like a toolbox. And this is done well. All chapters come with an introduction and a worked example using sample data, with ample reference to further details. Occasional chapters on unconventional study designs provide food for thought. Overall, the book is well written and very comprehensive; it provides help for many situations, and for situations of greater complexity it points to further references. ~Anika Husing, Biometrical Journal
