Abstract

SYNOPSIS: The aim of this paper is to explain and to stress the importance of mathematical models and, in particular, linear models in the field of psychiatric epidemiology. An awareness of linear models is essential in contemplating the use of statistics to analyse epidemiological survey data, and in many cases the appropriate linear model is by far the most effective way of summarizing such data.
