title: Assessing the fit of the logistic regression model to individual matched sets of case-control data.
abstract: We develop exact conditional methods for checking the fit of a logistic regression model to individual matched sets in case-control studies. Justifications are given for preferring this approach to conventional maximum likelihood-based methods. Data from two studies are used to illustrate the techniques.
