✦ Synopsis

A Hcwktt-Packard 67 calculator program is given to compute confidence intervals for odds ratios in case-control stu~ics, using the mctlmd of Cornfield and an algorithm of Fleiss. Recent work by Brown has ~hown Cornfield's method to be smperior to other approximate methods of odd.~ ratio confidence intcrvA computation and to agree closely with FisheCa exact method. Although s calculator pro~am for the exact method is available in the literature, the convergence fitm.s are frequently in excess of 30 rain. The program for Cornfield's method given below typically yields upper and Iow'r confglence limits in <2 rain.

## Abstract We present a new method, the δ‐centralization (DC) method, to correct for population stratification (PS) in case‐control association studies. DC works well even when there is a lot of confounding due to PS. The latter causes overdispersion in the usual chi‐square statistics which then h
