Foundations Of Epidemiology
Abstract
The purpose of this book is to present the concepts and methods of epidemiology as they are applied to a variety of health problems. The broad scope of epidemiology is liberally illustrated with studies of specific diseases. Emphasis is placed on the integration of biological and statistical elements in the sequence of epidemiologic reasoning that derives inferences about the etiology of disease from population data. The epidemiologist’s role in integrating knowledge obtained from a variety of scientific disciplines is described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
