Abstract

Using a probability sample of the towaway accidents involving 1973-75 model cars and investigated by special trams. several multivariate analyses are examined which estimate injury rates and corresponding effectiveness relating to various levels of belt usage. Analyses using log-liner models and weighted least squares procedures are called out in considerable detail. The limitations and/or advantage of each method are pointed out and the results of various sensitivity investigations presented.
