Could anyone please provide a reference where a hypothesis has ever been

formed based on the ecological radon data? So far I have only seen

regressions of the COUNTY risk. I am not aware of a single INDIVIDUAL risk

model that has been constructed to explain the county data.



Could anyone please provide a reference where such a hypothesis has been

tested by a case control study. The studys I have seen simply find risk

coefficients for a linear model. Would anyone really hypothesise a linear

individual risk model by looking at the county data?



Thanks,



Kai
