Re: Re: Re: Re: GPRD case control with or without control control?
Sir
I appreciate Adam Jacob's request for figures from me but note that a
considerable proportion of his responses to various responders have
minimal fact and maximal requests for figures - yet coming from a stats
background his use of definitive figures to contest responders views, not
least mine, are conspicious by their absence.
I would like to know how he finds himself on 'safe ground' with '1%';
and how he finds it possible to limit the likely rate of disorders amongst
the control group to within 1%? Does he have access to study data,
unpublished data, or is he merely 'supposing' out loud? I welcome his
demonstration of the 1% hypothesis at this stage.
