A Rejoinder to R.W. Field Answering Otto Raabe's Post by Joe Alvarez
and Fritz Seiler
In his paper in HPJ which Dr. Field cites, and in today's mail he makes a 
big to do about the smoking correction.  This is totally beside the point! 
 Neither Otto's post nor ours depend in any way on "the smoking 
correction".  Actually both of our concerns are that NO smoking correction 
be made to the data!  Dr. Field is still too much concerned with the 'true' 
dose-effect relationship, and does not notice that the raw measurements 
already contain the smoking effects and can, therefore, be applied directly 
to the prediction population.  His concerns may or may not be important for 
the 'true' concentration-effect relationship, but they are completely 
irrelevant for a correct prediction of risks using Bernie Cohen's data.
If any one wants to read more about the details, we still e-mail out 
preprints.  If the figure does not come out, we can fax you a copy.
