This study introduces methods to analyze correlations in eye assessments. We developed statistical techniques to estimate and test associations between fellow eyes and within the same eye over time.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical modeling

Background:

  • Bilateral visual assessments are common in clinical studies.
  • Understanding correlations between eyes and across time is crucial for accurate data interpretation.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture complex dependence structures in repeated visual assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop statistical methods for inferring contralateral correlations (C) and lateral correlations (L) from bilateral visual assessment data.
  • To estimate the difference between lateral and contralateral correlations (L-C).
  • To test hypotheses regarding the constancy of fellow eye associations over time and the equality of lateral and contralateral associations across occasions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing data from N subjects assessed at k occasions.

  • Assuming a permutation symmetric dependence structure for observations.
  • Employing maximum likelihood estimation for L, C, and L-C.
  • Deriving large-sample estimates of covariance structures.
  • Formulating and testing hypotheses on association constancy and equality.
  • Main Results:

    • Maximum likelihood estimates for lateral (L), contralateral (C), and their difference (L-C) were obtained.
    • The study provides a framework for testing the constancy of inter-eye associations over time.
    • Methods were established to test if lateral and contralateral associations are consistent across different assessment occasions.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed statistical framework effectively estimates and tests correlations in bilateral visual assessments.
    • The methods allow for nuanced understanding of how associations within and between eyes change over time.
    • This work contributes to more robust statistical inference in ophthalmological research involving repeated measures.
