In a case-augmented study, measurements on a random sample from a population are augmented by information from an independent sample of cases, that is units with some characteristic of interest. We show that inferences about the effect of the covariates on the probability of being a case can be made by fitting a modified prospective likelihood. We also show that this procedure is fully efficient.
Key Words: Case-augmented sampling; Estimating equation; Response-selective sampling; Semiparametric efficiency.
