Provided here is a cross-tabulated data file, with documentation, from which the results of the paper, Preston et. al. Radiation Research 162, 377-389 (2004) can be reproduced.

There are data on solid cancer mortality and leukemia mortality in the Life Span Study, along with DS02 and DS86 radiation doses and other pertinent variables. In addition to the data file, an Epicure script is provided that reads the data and fits some of the models described in the paper. Also provided is a log file containing the results of running that script.

The first line of the data file contains the variable names for use when reading the comma-delimited data with a program other than Epicure. The data file is about 14 MB in size, and the cross-tabulation has about 32,000 cells.
