Familial clustering of sarcoidosis and the higher prevalence and clinical severity of sarcoidosis in African Americans suggests etiologic heterogeneity. To test for heterogeneity in familial risk of sarcoidosis, we studied 3,395 siblings and parents of 558 index cases (361 African American, 197 Cauc

Limitations of detection of familial aggregation, examined by nonparametric aggregate measures (e.g., SMR), or by parametric methods (e.g., segregation analysis) may involve: (1) heterogeneity of risk patterns in different kindreds, or (2) restricted choice of parametric models.

A computer simulation study waa carried out to assess the performance of the test for seasonality of HE^ et aI. with monthly incidence rates. This test can be very powerful against an allnus1 sinusoidal pattern. The test's power agaiust a semi-annual sinusoidal pattern or against a "onepulse" patter

## Abstract In this paper, an evaluation of some tests for adverse health effects around fixed locations (putative hazard sites) is made. We address the situation where a heterogeneous background is included both in terms of correlated and uncorrelated heterogeneity (UH). In addition, we examine a
