  1.  ERR main effects model:  rate = exp[Age Term +B+S+L+IG+F] (1+D).
    2. 

  2.  For internal analysis baseline rates are estimated using log
(age/52.5) for the age term, so that for B=1910-19, exp(.743)=2.11
cancer deaths per 1000.  Note that for U.S. white males born in 1915
the cancer mortality rate at age 52.5 is 2.24/1000.
    3. 

  3.  For External/Internal model baseline rates are estimated using
log (known rates from vital statistics for U.S. white males) as an
"offset" as part of the age term.  Consequently, for B=1910-19,
exp(-8.5/100)=.907, is the estimated SMR for the 1915 birth cohort at
the reference level of the other terms.  The age variable, defined as
(age-52.5)/100, was included to reflect any systematic age related 
departures from the external rates.  
    4. 


  4.  The coefficients for the factors S, L, IG, and F are relative
risk estimates in L% units, i.e. the cancer relative risk estimate for
monthly vs non-monthly workers is exp(-41.9/100)=0.66.

  5.  ERR per Sv with 95% likelihood based confidence intervals.
