A new likelihood model for analyses of pharmacoepidemiologic case–control studies which avoids decision rules for determining latent exposure status

Abstract Background Case–control studies based on pharmaco-epidemiological databases typically use decision rules to determine exposure status from information on dates of prescription redemptions, although this induces misclassification. The reverse Waiting Time Distribution has been suggested as a...
