<p>A family object for GLM fitting of relative Poisson models</p>

datasets

Enables computation of epidemiological statistics, including those
where counts or mortality rates of the reference population are used.
Currently supported: excess hazard models (Dickman, Sloggett, Hills, and
Hakulinen (2012) <doi:10.1002/sim.1597>), rates, mean survival times,
relative/net survival (in particular the Ederer II (Ederer and Heise (1959))
and Pohar Perme (Pohar Perme, Stare, and Esteve
(2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01640.x>) estimators),
and standardized incidence and mortality ratios,
all of which can be easily adjusted for by covariates such as
age. Fast splitting and aggregation of 'Lexis' objects (from package 'Epi')
and other computations achieved using 'data.table'.
