{"product_id":"9781139861724","title":"Case-Control Studies","description":"The case-control approach is a powerful method for investigating factors that may explain a particular event. It is extensively used in epidemiology to study disease incidence, one of the best-known examples being Bradford Hill and Doll's investigation of the possible connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. More recently, case-control studies have been increasingly used in other fields, including sociology and econometrics. With a particular focus on statistical analysis, this book is ideal for applied and theoretical statisticians wanting an up-to-date introduction to the field. It covers the fundamentals of case-control study design and analysis as well as more recent developments, including two-stage studies, case-only studies and methods for case-control sampling in time. The latter have important applications in large prospective cohorts which require case-control sampling designs to make efficient use of resources. More theoretical background is provided in an appendix for those new to the field.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108140957936,"sku":"9781139861724","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139861724_p0.jpg?v=1763700065","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139861724","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
