Title: Deviance analysis of age-period-cohort models
Abstract: Age-period-cohort models for Lexis diagrams are considered. The identi-
cation problem is addressed by reparametrizing the models in terms of freely varying
parameters. The reparametrisation covers all three Lexis diagrams. A new plot of the
unidentied time eects is suggested and interpreted. Deviance analysis covering a wide
range of sub-models is presented. The methods are applied to Belgian lung cancer data.
