  2001 ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ College Avenue\, Room 1201\; Zoom\n	NOTE: James Hanley will be
  presenting in-person\n\nAbstract\n\nIn epidemiological research\, the ind
 ividually-matched (and possibly nested) case-control study and conditional
  logistic regression are often thought of together (see their Wikipedia en
 tries). Statisticians and epidemiologists generally cite the publications 
 by Prentice & Breslow and by Breslow et al. in 1978 as the first descripti
 on and use of conditional logistic regression\, while economists cite the 
 1973 book chapter (on consumer choices) by Nobel laureate McFadden. I rece
 ntly described the until-now-unrecognized use of\, and way of fitting\, th
 is model in 1934 by Lionel Penrose and Ronald Fisher.\n\nIn this talk\, I 
 will first describe ways in which conditional logistic regression is used 
 today. I will then go back to earlier versions of the case-control study\,
  and the gradual refinements that gave it the respectability it has today.
  I will show that\, through their strategic sampling of the Quebec cohort 
 of asbestos workers\, and (more recently) of large administrative and clin
 ical databases\, ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ epidemiologists and biostatisticians played a very
  large role in its coming of age. They also connected it with a major deve
 lopment in survival analysis. The BMJ still insists on using subtitles (‘a
  cohort study’\; ‘a case-control study’) to separate and implicitly rank t
 hese study designs. I will argue that we should no longer view them as sep
 arate entities\, but as minor variations on a singular study design: THE ‘
 etiologic study.’\n\nThe talk will be non-technical\, and is aimed at all 
 who are interested in etiological research.\n\n* See: Biometrika\, https:/
