Abstract
Other papers at this conference (Gilchrist and Payne, 1992; Francis, Green and Clarke, 1992) have concentrated on the general facilities of GLIM4 and certain extensions to model fitting. In this paper, we discuss a number of medical applications and show how GLIM4 can be used in these areas. The GLIM4 manual (Francis, Green and Payne, 1992) contains many more examples of medical applications for those interested in problems not covered here.
