If you have true survey data, you don't want to try and calculate CIs from
aggregate data.  You need to figure out a way to do it with the survey
commands.

Hi,

We have survey data on injury counts and want to calculate annual
incidence 
rates at different time points (& 95% CIs) adjusting for clustering.

We have a variable (time) which represents time since injury (1-12
months).

I need to first accumulate the injury counts at each time point and then

calculate the incidence rates. The data is at individual level.

I tried the following code:

collapse (sum) injury time, by(area)


but could not get the accumulated counts.


I would appreciate some help on this.

Thanks


Candida
