The variations in suicide mortality in England and Wales over a 100-year period (1876-1975) are explained by the development of a descriptive model. The model used in a stepwise linear regression using 5 variables including toxic gas production. The variables give a good description of the observed changes in suicide mortality. The limitations of the method and the data are discussed. Despite the limitations of the method, it can be concluded that toxic gas production affected total suicide mortality.
通过一个描述性模型解释了英格兰和威尔士100年间(1876 - 1975年)自杀死亡率的变化。该模型用于逐步线性回归,使用了包括有毒气体产生在内的5个变量。这些变量很好地描述了观察到的自杀死亡率变化。讨论了该方法和数据的局限性。尽管该方法存在局限性,但可以得出结论,有毒气体的产生影响了自杀总死亡率。
