✦ Synopsis

A computer program is described which tests the equality among standardized mortality ratios. Prior to the analysis of heterogeneity, the requirement of a multiplicative model is tested. The capability exists to combine given populations into subgroups before applying the test. Plots of age-specific rates and adjusted age-specific rates are optionally provided.
