NONPARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF CANCER DOSE RESPONSE CURVES

这个项目包括开发新的估算方法。 环境致癌物与癌症的剂量-反应关系 发病率，以及这些方法在新的和现有的 数据集。新的非参数程序的高分辨率 将被用于更好地可视化环境的特征 暴露和癌症发病率数据。出于验证的目的，结果 通过使用这些新程序获得的数据将与以前 已完成对现有数据集的分析。来自几个发病率的新数据 还将对研究进行分析，以便进一步进行实地测试，并确定 新技术的特性。

This project involves the development of new methods for estimating dose-response relationships between environmental carcinogens and cancer morbidity, and the application of these methods to new and existing datasets. The high resolving power of the new nonparametric procedures will be utilized to better visualize the characteristcs of environmental exposure and cancer morbidity data. For purposes of validation, results obtained through use of these new procedures will be compared to previously completed analyses of existing data sets. New data from several morbidity studies will also be analyzed in order to further fieldtest, and ascertain the properties of, the new techniques.
