Analysis of secondary failure time responses in studies with response‐dependent sampling schemes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Response-dependent sampling is routinely used as an enrichment strategy in the design of family studies investigating the heritable nature of disease. In addition to the response of primary interest, investigators often wish to investigate the association between biomarkers and secondary responses related to possible comorbidities. Statistical analysis regarding genetic biomarkers and their association with the secondary outcome must address the biased sampling scheme involving the primary response. In this article, we develop composite likelihoods and two-stage estimation procedures for such secondary analyses in which the within-family dependence structure for the primary and secondary outcomes is modeled via a Gaussian copula. The dependence among responses within family members is modeled based on kinship coefficients. Auxiliary data from independent individuals are exploited by augmenting the composite likelihoods to increase precision of marginal parameter estimates and enhance the efficiency of estimators of the dependence parameters. Simulation studies are carried out to evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed method, and an application to a motivating family study in psoriatic arthritis is given for illustration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
