Abstract: epiconf calculates the change in effect estimates such as odds ratio, rate ratio, or hazard ratio after adjusting for a potential confounder using either "forward selection" or "backward deletion" strategies. epiconf also calculates and graphs adjusted effect measures and their confidence intervals. The order of variables being selected is based on the "importance" (magnitude) of "change in estimate". Windows users should not attempt to download these files with a web browser.
