Rates: Estimate occurrence-exposure rates

Description

Estimates the occurrence-exposure rates from the Stable object

Usage

Rates(pc_ac, Stable)

Arguments

pc_ac

Type of rate: 1 = period-cohort; 2 = age-cohort

Stable

Stable is object produced by RateTable function

Value

• M
  Transition rates by origin, destination and age in standard format [M-format]
• Mcum
  Cumulative occurrence-transition rates

Examples

#   Example 1: Transition rates between NOJOB and JOB, based on GLHS
   data(GLHS)
   z<- Parameters (GLHS)
   occup <- Occup(GLHS)
   seq.ind <- statesequence.ind (GLHS)
   trans <- Trans (GLHS,seq.ind=seq.ind)
   ratetable <- RateTable (survey=GLHS, occup=occup,trans=trans)
   rates <- Rates (pc_ac=2,Stable=ratetable$Stable)

#   Example 2: Rates of transition between living arrangements, based on NLOG98
   data(NLOG98)
   z <- Parameters (NLOG98)
   seq.ind <- statesequence.ind (NLOG98[NLOG98$kerk=="Roman Catholic",])
   occup <- Occup (NLOG98[NLOG98$kerk=="Roman Catholic",])
   trans <- Trans (survey=NLOG98[NLOG98$kerk=="Roman Catholic",],seq.ind=seq.ind)
   ratetable <- RateTable (survey=NLOG98[NLOG98$kerk=="Roman Catholic",], occup=occup,trans=trans)
   rates <- Rates (pc_ac=2,Stable=ratetable$Stable)
