Abstract

Case-cohort designs provide a cost effective way to conduct epidemiological follow-up studies in which event times are the outcome variables. This paper develops a quantile regression approach to the analysis of case-cohort data. Quantile regression is a highly useful tool to delineate relationships between the outcome variable and covariates. Unbiased functional estimating equations are constructed, resulting in asymptotically unbiased estimators. Efficient algorithms based on minimizing L1-type convex functions are given. Uniform consistency and weak convergence of the resulting estimators are established. Error estimation and confidence intervals are obtained by applying a specially designed resampling procedure for case-cohort data. Simulation studies are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed method. An example is also provided for illustration.
