Maximum Likelihood Adjustment of Anticipatory Covariates in the Analysis of Retrospective Data

• A multiplicative hazard model in the presence of anticipatory covariates is estimated by maximum likelihood. The case study concerns the e§ects of educational level on risks of divorce. For individuals with anticipatory educational levels, conditional probabilities of having attained the reported level before marriage are used as weights in the likelihood. The adjusted estimates of relative risks do not di§er signiÖcantly from those from anticipatory analysis.
