Title: Design-Based Calibration Estimators for Measurement Error in the Cox Model
Author(s): Thomas Lumley*+ and Pam Shaw
Companies: University of Washington and University of Washington
Address: , Seattle, WA, 98195,
Keywords: raking ; measurement error
Abstract:

Many techniques exist for using a small validation subsample to correct for measurement error in predictors when error-free data are available in the subsample. We present a technique that is valid when the validation subsample has classical measurement error and no assumptions are made about error model in the full cohort. The estimation is based on survey calibration for the cohort total of the estimating function, using biased estimating function in the cohort as calibration variables.
