Estimation of the probability of an event as a function of several independent variables

STROTHER H. WALKER  and DAVID B. DUNCAN

Johns Hopkins University

A method for estimating the probability of occurrence of an event from dichotomous or polychotomous data is developed, using a recursive approach. The method in the dichotomous case is applied to the data of a 10-year prospective study of coronary disease. Other areas of application are briefly indicated.
