(HP-67) Epidemiologic Analysis with a Programmable Calculator
An extract from the PREFACE of Epidemiologic Analysis with a Programmable Calculator, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION and WELFARE, Public Health Service, NIH Publication No. 79-1649, June 1979.

Our purpose in writing this book is to present a collection of pocket calculator programs developed to handle the range of analyses that most epidemiologists face routinely. The programs are accompanied by step-by-step descriptions of their use and examples taken from epidemiologic studies …
Today programmable pocket calculators are available which are essentially low-priced computers that can be programmed to handle nearly all calculations routinely encountered in epidemiologic analysis …
The epidemiologic programs developed and presented here are for a particular calculator, the Hewlett-Packard 67 (HP67)

CASE-CONTROL STUDIES
Program 1: Odds ratio estimation and testing (7 or fewer 2 x 2 tables)
Program 2: Odds ratio estimation and testing (unlimited number of 2 x 2 tables)
Program 3: Mantel-extension test and standardized risk ratios for 2 x R tables
FOLLOW-UP (COHORT) STUDIES
Program 4: Estimation and testing for follow-up data with count denominators (6 or fewer 2 x 2 tables)
Program 5: Estimation and testing for follow-up data with count denominators (unlimited number of 2 x 2 tables)
Program 6: Estimation and testing for follow-up data with person-time denominators (6 or fewer strata)

see ps below for clarification
Program 7: Estimation and testing for follow-up data with person-time denominators (unlimited number of strata)
MATCHED CASE-CONTROL STUDIES
Program 8: Case-control matched analysis
Program 9: Case-control matched analysis with variable matching ratio
Program 10: Case-control matched pair analysis for 3 exposure levels
EXACT TESTING AND ESTIMATION
Program 11: Exact testing and interval estimation for the odds ratio in a 2 x 2 table
Program 12: Exact testing and interval estimation for the incidence density ratio in a single table
Program 13: Exact p-value for a Poisson variate
Program 14: Exact confidence limits for an SMR
Program 15: Exact (and approximate) confidence limits for a proportion
ADDITIONAL ANALYSES AND CALCULATIONS
Program 16 Study size and power
Program 17 P-value from normal deviate
Program 18 P-value from chi-square
Program 19 Linear trend analysis
Program 20 Seasonal analysis of monthly frequencies
Program 21 Logistic curve fit
Program 22 Survival and relative survival curves

ps: pages 65 - 72 are omitted in the HathiTrust archive (reason unknown): this includes part of program 4, all of program 5 & part of program 6: however, my post to the 41 library has a link for the new edition which includes the missing pages as well a listings in FOCAL.
