Statistical issues in modelling radiation effects on disease incidence

Creators

  • 1. Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima (Japan)

Description

The author attempts to outline an overview of some models which have proven useful in recent work with radiation effects data. Topics addressed are mathematical models for radiation effects on disease incidence, modelling of background rates, relative versus excess risk models, dose-response effects, dose effect modification (sex and age at exposure), temporal variation in risks.
