Our purpose in writing this book is to present a collection of pocket calculator programs developed to handle the range of analyses that most epidemiologists face routinely. The programs are accompanied by step-by-step descriptions of their use and examples taken from epidemiologic studies. We have assumed a basic familiarity with epidemiologic principles, this book being intended as a handbook or reference work for epidemiologists rather than as a textbook. Most of the examples are drawn from the area of chronic disease epidemiology and are meant to exemplify the application of calculator programs and not epiderniologic findings.
