Abstract

Many epidemiological exposure variables have right-skewed distributions with sparse data at high exposure levels. Visualizing and estimating exposure-response relationships is further challenging for case-control studies, as the dependent variable is binary. We present improved approaches for estimating the exposure-response relation in such settings. Data from case-control studies of childhood cancer are used to illustrate the methods.
