Meta-analysis of family-based and case-control genetic association studies that use the same cases
(2011)In many cases in genetic epidemiology, the investigators in an effort to control for different sources of confounding and simultaneously to increase the power perform a family-based and a population-based case-control study ...

Mixed-effects poisson regression models for meta-analysis of follow-up studies with constant or varying durations
(2009)We present a framework for meta-analysis of follow-up studies with constant or varying duration using the binary nature of the data directly. We use a generalized linear mixed model framework with the Poisson likelihood ...
