Efficient interval estimation for age-adjusted cancer rates.
The age-adjusted cancer rates are defined as the weighted average of the age-specific cancer rates, where the weights are positive, known, and normalized so that their sum is 1. Fay and Feuer developed a confidence interval for a single age-adjusted rate based on the gamma approximation. Fay used the gamma approximations to construct an F interval for the ratio of two age-adjusted rates. Modifi...
متن کاملAge-standardized mortality rates related to viral hepatitis in Brazil
BACKGROUND Liver-related mortality has been increasing worldwide. We aimed to estimate the age-standardized mortality rates from viral hepatitis in Brazil. METHODS The Brazilian National Death Registry was analyzed from 2008 to 2014. Viral hepatitis deaths were defined by the following ICD-10 codes in the death certificate: hepatitis A [B15.0; B15.9]; hepatitis B [B16.2; B16.9; B18.1]; hepati...
متن کاملConfidence interval estimating procedures for standardized incidence rates
Performances of some common confidence interval construction procedures for direct standardized incidence or mortality rate were compared. The asymptotic method, the method based on matching moments, the method based on gamma distribution and the method based on beta distribution were investigated through Monte Carlo simulations based on data from an epidemiologic study of cardiovascular diseas...
متن کاملMeta-analytic interval estimation for standardized and unstandardized mean differences.
The fixed-effects (FE) meta-analytic confidence intervals for unstandardized and standardized mean differences are based on an unrealistic assumption of effect-size homogeneity and perform poorly when this assumption is violated. The random-effects (RE) meta-analytic confidence intervals are based on an unrealistic assumption that the selected studies represent a random sample from a large supe...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation for the Cox Model with Interval Censoring
The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the proportional hazards model with current status data is studied. It is shown that the MLE for the regression parameter is asymptotically normal with vn-convergence rate and achieves the information bound, even though the MLE for the baseline cumulative hazard function only converges at nI/3 rate. Estimation of the asymptotic variance matrix for the ...
