The main objective of this paper is to analyze the 2× K contingency tables with three statistical methods (regression analysis, multinomial logistic regression analysis and fuzzy model). We compare these methods for evaluating the association between a risk factor and a disease. These statistical methods measure the association between the numeric levels of a risk factor and a disease in different ways. They have been applied to a set of data of childhood cancer risk from prenatal x-ray
