Abstract:
The main objective of this paper is to analyze 2xk contingency tables with three statistical methods. We compare these methods for evaluating the association between a risk factor and a disease. These statistical methods measure the association between the numeric levels of a risk factor and a disease in different ways. They have been applied to a set of data of childhood cancer risk. Regression and multinomial logistic regression analyses show similar results for a data set of children whereas the fuzzy analysis yields a different result.
