test version of analysis ready (read epx file - new Odds Ratio calculation)
A new test release of EpiData Analysis has been placed for download on the testing page. http://epidata.dk/testing.php
The zip file contains a complete working copy, including updated help file. When you unzip please maintain folder structure. An EPX formatted version of bromar data is included in the zip file.
Changes from previous releases are:
A. Ability to read xml formatted files created by EpiData Manager (EPX) files (NOT EPZ zipped files) B. The default principle of Odds Ratio calculation has been changed from: MLE based to: Standard simple with Robins, Greenland, Breslow 95% CI
to get the new default Odds Ratios use: /o , to use the same as previously: /oex
Output is slightly changed, example:
. tab runok sex /o /oex Outcome:Marathon race completed ? Sex of runner 1 0 Total 2 3119 418 3537 1 437 53 490 Total 3556 471 4027 Exposure: Sex of runner = 2Outcome: Marathon race completed ? = 1 Odds Ratio = 0.90 (95% CI: 0.67-1.23) (Robins,Greenland,Breslow CI) Exact (MLE) Odds Ratio = 0.90 (95% CI: 0.66-1.23) pORex<=1.0 = 0.2872
With this test release users are more than welcome to challenge the whole cycle of creating files in Manager (including import fra Stata, Rec, QES files, pasting via clipboard or editor etc), entering data with the EntryClient and analysing the data in Analysis. You may use the Manager to export data to Stata for comparisons of results.
Anything not working - or comments to the way we have implemented aspects - please report to this list or if you find reproducible errors it is easier for us, if you can report to the flyspray system - see link on the testing page.

I'm waiting for the linux version for testing the Analysis package. By the way I'm testing the other packages under linux.

Someone wrote "I'm waiting for the linux version for testing the Analysis package." - and also indicated to be testing what is available for Linux.
Work on analysis will start when the EntryClient and Manager are released for general download and further features also released (Good Clinical Practice etc.) Most likely this is at the earliest March/April next year.
At the same time currently known problems will be fixed - such as the reported (and annoying) P50 error in some situations when doing Life tables.
---- so be patient.
