    This study introduces a new statistical method for analyzing case-control studies with complex exposure data. The proposed test effectively estimates exposure differences and assesses variability across groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Epidemiology
    • Statistical Modeling

    Background:

    • Case-control studies are crucial for investigating disease etiology.
    • Analyzing exposure data with ordinal or continuous, yet complex, distributions presents analytical challenges.
    • Existing methods may lack robustness or efficiency when dealing with non-standard exposure patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel statistical method for analyzing case-control studies with ordinal or continuous, but non-standard, exposure levels.
    • To develop a robust test and estimator for assessing exposure differences between cases and controls.
    • To evaluate the performance and efficiency of the proposed method.

    Main Methods:

    • A statistical test is proposed as a linear combination of stratum-specific Wilcoxon tests.

  • An estimator for the mean percentile shift in exposure between cases and controls is provided.
  • Methods for assessing heterogeneity of the mean percentile shift across strata are discussed.

    • Main Results:

    • The performance of the proposed test is evaluated concerning the number of controls per case for various alternatives.
    • Asymptotic relative efficiency is calculated compared to the optimal parametric test and tests using dichotomized exposure.
    • The method's practical utility is demonstrated through two numerical examples.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a flexible and robust approach for analyzing case-control data with complex exposure variables.
    • The statistical test provides an efficient way to detect exposure differences, even with non-standard distributions.
    • The findings support the use of this method for improved etiological investigations in epidemiology.
