Table 1.

The hypothetical method 1 shows the probability of assigning a death from a true cause to each of the three possible causes; the hypothetical method 2 differs only in the higher probability of assigning deaths from cause A to cause A.

Method 1		Estimated

True	A	0.70	0.03	0.27
	B	0.04	0.60	0.36
	C	0.065	0.585	0.35
Method 2		Estimated
		A	B	C
True	A	0.80	0.02	0.18
	B	0.04	0.60	0.36
