"This
report describes the user-friendly computer program PROFILE for
estimating the parameters of demographic model schedules as a function
of age. Model schedules can be constructed from a set of ready-to-use
building blocks. The program offers various estimation methods,
including maximum likelihood estimation if data on exposed population
and numbers of events are available. Apart from describing the
statistical theory behind the estimation methods, the report contains
an exhaustive user's guide to the PROFILE computer program, which can
be ordered from the NIDI."
