    This study evaluated point estimators for a common odds ratio across multiple 2x2 tables. The conditional maximum likelihood estimator demonstrated superior performance in bias and precision compared to other methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Epidemiology
    • Statistical modeling

    Background:

    • Estimating a common odds ratio from multiple 2x2 tables is crucial in meta-analysis and epidemiological studies.
    • Previous research has focused on various point estimators, but the conditional maximum likelihood estimator (CMLE) remains under-examined.
    • Understanding the finite-sample properties of CMLE is essential for accurate risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the finite-sample properties of the conditional maximum likelihood estimator (CMLE) for a common odds ratio.
    • To compare the performance of CMLE against unconditional maximum likelihood and Mantel-Haenszel estimators.
    • To provide insights into the bias and precision of CMLE in specific scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulation studies were employed to assess estimator performance.

  • The focus was on scenarios with a small number of tables and moderate to large within-table sample sizes.
  • Key metrics for comparison included bias and precision.

    • Main Results:

    • The conditional maximum likelihood estimator (CMLE) was found to be superior to the unconditional maximum likelihood estimator.
    • CMLE demonstrated equal or superior performance compared to the Mantel-Haenszel estimator.
    • These advantages were observed in terms of both bias and precision.

    Conclusions:

    • The conditional maximum likelihood estimator (CMLE) is a valuable tool for estimating common odds ratios, particularly in situations with limited tables and adequate sample sizes.
    • CMLE offers improved accuracy over unconditional maximum likelihood and comparable or better performance than the Mantel-Haenszel estimator.
    • This study partially addresses the limited attention previously given to CMLE in finite-sample research.
