A reliable numerical algorithm is described, together with a computer program written in FORTRAN IV and FORTRAN 77, for estimating a three-parameter variance function by approximate conditional likelihood. The function is sufficiently flexible to provide for a several thousand-fold relative change i

Physical examinations made at annual or other fixed time intervals on each member of a group of healthy individuals yield sets of random variables measured over time, called time series. A computer program has been written which treats these measurements as predictor variables to be used in estimati
Assume that the benefit of screening for breast cancer with a combination of mammography and a clinical examination is measured by comparing the five-year survival rate of women detected by screening to the five-year survival rate of women who surface clinically with breast cancer, e.g., to the surv
It has been suggested that the physician would be aided in his interpretation of clinical laboratory results if the data were reported in terms of percentile ranking in a reference population as well as in conventional units. This paper describes a FORTRAN porgram for estimating the necessary refere
