Excess relative risk (ERR) for all solid cancer in atomic bomb survivors in relation to radiation exposure. The black circles and error bars represent ERR and 95% CI for the dose categories. Data from Ozasa et al. (2012). Solid Line - fit to the ERR data using a multiple linear regression in which weighted colon dose was entered into the model using a restricted cubic spline transformation with four knots. Regression weights were equal to the inverse of the variance of the point estimates. Dashed lines are 95% CI of the fit.
