standardized_incidence_rate_difference: Age-standardized incidence rates differences (asird)

Description

Age-standardized incidence rates differences (asird)

Usage

standardized_incidence_rate_difference(
  ncan,
  py,
  ncanref,
  pyref,
  pystd,
  ncan.min = 5
)

Value

a 1 line and 3 column data.frame containing the pir (est) and associated 95% CI (lci, uci)

Arguments

ncan

integer, (age-specific) number of cancers in the population of interest

py

integer, (age-specific) person-year in the the population of interest

ncanref

integer, (age-specific) number of cancers in the reference population

pyref

integer, (age-specific) person-year in the the reference population

pystd

numeric, (age-specific) standard population person-years (e.g. standard world population)

ncan.min

integer, minimum number of observation required not to mask the CI's out

Age-standardized incidence rate difference (asird) is computed without confidence interval estimation for now. asird is a summary statistics that should be computed per group of individuals providing age specific counts.
