Question:
In one of the first studies of the link between lung cancer and smoking7, Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill collected data from 20 hospitals in London, England. Each patient admitted with lung cancer in the preceding year was queried about their smoking behavior. For each of the 709 patients admitted, they recorded the smoking behavior of a noncancer patient at the same hospital of the same gender and within the same 5-year grouping on age. A smoker was defined as a person who had smoked at least one cigarette a day for at least a year. Of the 709 cases having lung cancer, 688 reported being smokers. Of the 709 controls, 650 reported being smokers. Specify a relevant logistic regression model, explain what can be estimated and what cannot (and why), and conduct a statistical analysis.
