Abstract
A method is presented for correcting incomplete data for birth-order analysis and variations in the ascertained incidence of affected individuals [human] are allowed. The statistical analysis involves application of a test developed by Wilcoxon, et al. and Haldane and Smith. Examples are detailed for data correction, and the analysis of data for pyloric stenosis is discussed.Keywords
