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 کاملEstimation of adjusted rate differences using additive negative binomial regression.
Rate differences are an important effect measure in biostatistics and provide an alternative perspective to rate ratios. When the data are event counts observed during an exposure period, adjusted rate differences may be estimated using an identity-link Poisson generalised linear model, also known as additive Poisson regression. A problem with this approach is that the assumption of equality of...
متن کاملNon-Bayesian Estimation and Prediction under Weibull Interval Censored Data
In this paper, a one-sample point predictor of the random variable X is studied. X is the occurrence of an event in any successive visits $L_i$ and $R_i$ :i=1,2…,n (interval censoring). Our proposed method is based on finding the expected value of the conditional distribution of X given $L_i$ and $R_i$ (i=1,2…,n). To make the desired prediction, our approach is on the basis of approximating the...
متن کاملAge-Adjusted US Cancer Death Rate Predictions.
The likelihood of developing cancer during one's lifetime is approximately one in two for men and one in three for women in the United States. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death and accounts for one in every four deaths. Evidence-based policy planning and decision making by cancer researchers and public health administrators are best accomplished with up-to-date age-adjusted site-speci...
