Abstract
Paired data often arise in medical studies, with a correlation between responses of paired organs or parts. Under an intra-correlated model, this paper proposes a generalized linear model to investigate probable confounding factors of the individual response rates in paired data. The main [...] Read more.
Paired data often arise in medical studies, with a correlation between responses of paired organs or parts. Under an intra-correlated model, this paper proposes a generalized linear model to investigate probable confounding factors of the individual response rates in paired data. The main link functions include logistic, log–log, complementary log–log, probit, and double exponential. The estimators of model parameters are calculated through the Newton–Raphson, quadratic lower bound, and Fisher bounded algorithms. Then, three tests (i.e., likelihood ratio test, Wald-type test, and score test) are constructed to analyze whether covariates significantly affect the response rate. Finally, the proposed methods are illustrated by numerical simulation and visual impairment data from Iran. Full article

In paired-organ studies such as ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and rheumatology, etc., various approaches take highly correlated bilateral data into account for homogeneity tests but are less likely to focus on combined bilateral and unilateral data structures. Also, it is necessary and important to adjust the effect of confounders on stratified combined bilateral and unilateral data since, in these data structures, ignoring intra-class correlation and confounding effects can cause biased statistical inference. This article derived three homogeneity tests (the likelihood ratio test, the Wald test, and the score test) concerning these cooperative structure data to detect if ratios of proportions retain consistency across strata. Simulation shows that the score test provides a robust Type I error rate and satisfactory power performance. Finally, a real example is applied to demonstrate the application of these three proposed tests. Full article

Medical comparative studies often involve collecting data from paired organs, which can produce either bilateral or unilateral data. While many testing procedures are available that account for the intra-class correlation between paired organs for bilateral data, more research needs to be conducted to determine how to analyze combined correlated bilateral and unilateral data. In practice, stratification is often used in analysis to ensure participants are allocated equally to each experimental condition. In this paper, we propose three Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE)-based methods for testing the homogeneity of differences between two proportions for stratified bilateral and unilateral data across strata using Donner’s model. We compare the performance of these methods with a model-based method based on Generalized Estimating Equations using Monte Carlo simulations. We also provide a real example to illustrate the proposed methodologies. Our findings suggest that the Score test performs well and offers a valuable alternative to the exact tests in future studies.
