Abstract:
Regression calibration, refined regression calibration, and conditional scores estimation procedures are extended to a measurement model that is motivated by nutritional and physical activity epidemiology. Biomarker data, available on a small subset of a study cohort for reasons of cost, are assumed to adhere to a classical measurement error model, while corresponding self-report nutrient consumption or activity-related energy expenditure data are available for the entire cohort. The self-report assessment measurement model includes a person-specific random effect, the mean and variance of which may depend on individual characteristics such as body mass index or ethnicity. Logistic regression is used to relate the disease odds ratio to the actual, but unmeasured, dietary or physical activity exposure. Simulation studies are presented to evaluate and contrast the three estimation procedures, and to provide insight into preferred biomarker subsample size under selected cohort study configurations.
