Annual counts of colorectal cancer (cancer of colon or rectum), ages 50-79, for Texas's top four metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), with population at risk estimates, by race-ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic/Latino).

datasets

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.
