a

Data are from an example presented by Rothman and Keller (18) and Hosmer and Lemeshow (5).

b

Output was from fitting of a linear odds ratio model to the data in Table 1 of the present paper.

c

Estimates were obtained via fitting of a model of the form: odds=e(β0)(1+β1alcohol+β2smoking+β3alcohol×smoking).
