Using an Event-History with Risk-Free Model to Study the Genetics of Alcoholism

Abstract Case–control genetic association studies typically ignore possible later disease onset in currently healthy subjects and assume that subjects with diseases equally contribute to the likelihood for inference, regardless of their onset age. Therefore, we used an event-history with risk-free m...
