And statistical confidence-interval methods, sensitivity analyses, and related quantitative methods should be applied as appropriate to determine the extent to which the resulting data are consistent with other mathematical representations and ranges of risk. For the time being, the committee recommends that two-stage models be used primarily to promote research understanding; for health risk assessments, two-stage models can be used in conjunction with other models to add perspective to the evaluation process.
