We describe the usual statistical concepts and consequent appropriate simulations of a prospective study for the simple case of a single risk variable and an assumed logistic model. We examine the simulations of Lilienfeld and Pyne, 1 and show that they are seriously flawed. Contrary to those authors' claims, the estimates of parameters by the Walker‐Duncan technique are both accurate and reliable.
