Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 數學系 === 85 === In investigating the relationship between breast cancer and reproduction factors(like parity), some related confounders need to be selected into themodel for adjustment. However, the difficulty of the inference increase as the number of the confounder increase. In this paper, we analyze the "Breastcancer data of women in Taiwan area" by using the propensity-score- adjustedmethods instead of the conventional confounder-adjusted methods, to reducedthe dimension of confounders and remove the bias due to all observed covar-iates.
