Refining Risk Estimates Using Models

  • Chapter

Abstract

In 2004 nineteen scientists from fourteen institutions in seven countries collaborated in the landmark study described in chapter 2 (Thomas et al., 2004a). This chapter provides an overview of results of studies published subsequently and assesses how much, and why, new results differ from those of Thomas et al.
