A decision analytic approach to the design of experiments in research on traffic safety.
An old paper by E. Hauer and I. Geva.  Published in Transport Risk Assessment, S. Yagar (ed.) University of Waterloo Press, 1984. Added here because the book is difficult to find and there is renewed interest in this topic.
Two tools for finding what function links the dependent variable to the explanatory variables.
Paper by E. Hauer and J. Bamfo. Published in Proceedings of ICTCT 97 Conference, November 5-7 1997, Lund, Sweden
Executable software to test the difference between two Poisson random variables.
Note: In this version (March 2005) I forgot to place a label near the input box for k.
Statistical test of the difference between expected accident frequencies.
Paper originally published in 1996 and given here in support of the software above.
