Infant mortality data for England and Wales, cross‐classified by mother's age, parity and social class have been published on two occasions, the first giving the relevant data for 1949/50, the second for 1975, some 25 years later. Published analyses of these separate data sets have been based on graphical and tabular analysis. This paper develops the methodology from an earlier paper by Murrells et al. 1 to the analysis of the neonatal data.
