SUMMARY This paper proposes a logistic regression model for comparing treatment groups with respect to tumour prevalence. The prevalence test commonly used to compare treatments in animal tumorigenicity experiments (Hoel and Walburg, 1972; Peto et al. , 1980) is essentially equivalent to a likelihood score test derived under a logistic model that expresses tumour prevalence as a function of time and treatment. The more general regression context suggests an alternative to the convention of grouping observations into arbitrarily chosen intervals. The model also incorporates covariates, provides a framework for estimating the strength of a dose‐response relationship and for testing a central assumption underlying the usual prevalence test, and is computationally simple to analyse.
