| Abstract |
We examine basic asymptotic properties of relative risk for two families of generalized Erlang processes (where each one is based off of a simplified Armitage and Doll multistage model) in order to predict relative risk data from cancer. The main theorems that we are able to prove are all corroborated by large clinical studies involving relative risk for former smokers and transplant recipients. We then show that at least some of these theorems do not extend to other Armitage and Doll multistage models. We conclude with suggestions for lifelong increased cancer screening for both former smoker and transplant recipient subpopulations of individuals and possible future directions of research. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 April 2018.
All research outputs
#15,505,836
of 23,043,346 outputs
Outputs from Bulletin of Mathematical Biology
#727
of 1,104 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,715
of 440,365 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bulletin of Mathematical Biology
#21
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,043,346 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,104 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,365 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
