st: RE: Trend Test for Rates
Rather than looking at 'proportions', you might consider doing a
log-linear regression on the number of events using the denominators as
offsets. This will also allow covariates. The command glm will do
this, or you can use the poisson command.

Subject: st: Trend Test for Rates
I would like to see if there is any kind of trend over a 12 month
period.
I have rates (injuries/time) and their accompanying confidence
intervals for each of the 12 months (ie 12 rates).
Would vwls be a good approach to look for a trend? Does vwls have any
kind of eform option for the coefficients (since I took the log of all
the variables)?
