Abstract: Abstract Basic tabular and graphical methods are an essential component of epidemiologic analysis and are often sufficient, especially when one need consider only a few variables at a time. They are, however, limited in the number of variables that they can examine simultaneously. Even sparse-strata methods (such as Mantel-Haenszel) require that some strata have two or more subjects; yet, as more and more variables or categories are added to a stratification, the number of subjects in each stratum may eventually drop to 0 or 1.
