age_standardize: Age-standardize model objects

In RSTr: Gibbs Samplers for Discrete Bayesian Spatiotemporal Models

Age-standardize model objects

Description

Age-standardizes samples using a standard population for an RSTr model object.

Usage

age_standardize(RSTr_obj, std_pop, new_name, groups = NULL)

Arguments

RSTr_obj	An RSTr model object.
std_pop	A vector of standard populations.
new_name	The name to assign to the age-standardized group.
groups	A vector of either indices for each group or a vector of strings for each group name. If set to NULL, will use all groups in the dataset.

Value

An RSTr object with age-standardized estimates.

Examples

std_pop <- c(113154, 100640, 95799)
data_min <- lapply(miheart, \(x) x[1:2, 1:3, 1:3])
adj_min <- list(2, 1)
on.exit(unlink(file.path(tempdir(), "test"), recursive = TRUE), add = TRUE)
mod_mst <- mstcar("test", data_min, adj_min, tempdir(), show_plots = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)
# age-standardize by all age groups
mod_mst <- age_standardize(mod_mst, std_pop, "35-64")
# Add onto age-standardized estimates. Age-standardize only by the first two age groups
mod_mst <- age_standardize(mod_mst, std_pop[1:2], "35-54", groups = 1:2)
