Multidimensional curve fitting program for biological data.

Abstract

A program written for use with the IBM-PC can be used to find least squares solutions to linearized multidimensional equations. The program is 'user-friendly' by requiring little from the user except to make decisions; most responses can be entered by a single keystroke. Once data are entered by the user, they can be repeatedly manipulated, graphed, and correlated. Many models relating data variables can be tried relatively easily, and best fit results found. Examples using respiratory mechanical data illustrate the ease of model comparisons.

Biostatistical concepts and methods in the legal setting.

Biostatistical concepts and methods apply to various problems arising in actual U.S. legal cases. These involve: measures of association, assessing the potential effect of omitted variables and the Peters-Belson approach to regression. In particular, we present the inapplicability of Fisher's exact test in the case where the process determining the marginal sample sizes is not independent of the hypothesis under study by the 2 x 2 table. We adapt Cornfield's procedure to assess whether the omission of another factor could have contributed to a non-significant finding of the effect of the major factor under investigation. Finally, we demonstrate the relevance and utility of the Peters-Belson regression methodology to equal pay and promotion cases.
