rate_difference R Documentation
Confidence interval for a rate difference
Description
Calculates a 95 percent confidence interval for a rate difference.
Uses Kirkwood and Sterne's formula for a rate difference, p241 of 2nd Ed.
I think this could be re-written to work better so that it takes a data.frame as an input and compares against a given baseline.
Usage
rate_difference(numerator1, denominator1, numerator2, denominator2)
Arguments
numerator1
The numerator for the first level for comparison (e.g. the unexposed group)
denominator1
The denominator for the first level for comparison
numerator2
The numerator for the second level for comparison (e.g. the exposed group)
denominator2
The denominator for the second level for comparison
Value
A dataframe with columns for rate difference, upper and lower confidence intervals
Examples
rate_difference(33, 355, 24, 518) # matches output from p241 K&S, 2nd Ed
