In cancerradarr: Cancer RADAR Project Tool

Compute incidence rates difference

Description

Compute incidence rates difference

Usage

incidence_rates_difference(ncan, py, ncanref, pyref, ncan.min = 5)

Arguments

ncan	integer, number of cancers in the population of interest
py	integer, person-year of the the population of interest
ncanref	integer, number of cancers in the reference population
pyref	integer, person-year of the the reference population
ncan.min	integer, minimum number of observation required not to mask the CI's out Incidence rates differences and associated 95% confidence interval are computing assuming normal distribution of the differences..

Value

a 3 column data.frame containing the incidence rates difference (est) and associated 95% CI (lci, uci)

Examples

ncan <- 1:10
py <- 101:110
ncanref <- 41:50
pyref <- 251:260
ncan.min <- 5

incidence_rates_difference(ncan, py, ncanref, pyref, ncan.min)
