A strategy to impute age at onset of a particular condition from external sources
17/Mar

ABSTRACT

A key hypothesis in epidemiological studies is that time to disease exposure provides relevant information to be considered in statistical models However, the initiation time of a particular condition is usually unknown So, we developed a multiple imputation methodology for the age at onset of a particular condition, which is supported by incidence data from different sources of information.
