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

β¦ Synopsis
A computer program has been written which performs a stepwise selection of variables for logistic regression using maximum likelihood estimation. The selection procedure is based on likelihood ratio tests for the coefficients. These tests are used in a forward selection and a backward elimination at each step. The use of the program is illustrated by several examples.

Given a set of binary data (success of failure) and measurements of p explanatory variables corresponding to each case, a computer program has been written to perform regression analysis utilizing Cox's linear logistic model. A prototype example is to assess any dependence of the probability of resp

MFIT is a computer software package for obtaining nonlinear parameter estimates. It was designed, in part, to motivate the maximum likelihood method by making it as accessible to the scientifically oriented user as nonlinear regression or least squares analysis. The approach taken was that of supply
