TL;DR

A FORTRAN program for computing various statistical tests relating proportions to dose is described and two methods of testing for linear trend while adjusting for the time element are programmed.

Abstract

A FORTRAN program for computing various statistical tests relating proportions to dose is described. Life table curves are computed and printer plots may be obtained. Exact and approximate tests of linear trend for proportions are given. Finally two methods of testing for linear trend while adjusting for the time element are programmed. In both cases, tests of homogeneity and departures from trend are also given. The program is available from authors.
