    ABSTRACT:: The existence of large chronic disease data bases offers the
               possibility of studying hypotheses of major medical
               importance. An objective of the RX Project is to assist a
               clinical researcher with the tasks of experimental design and
               statistical analysis. A major component of RX is a knowledge
               base of medicine and statistics, organized as a frame-based,
               taxonomic tree. RX determines confounding variables, study
               design, and analytic techniques. It then gathers data,
               analyzes it, and interprets results. The American Rheumatism
               Association Medical Information System is used.
