Dear Stata Users,
thanks to Kit Baum an updated version of -distrate- is available on the
SSC Archive.
-distrate- is a command for estimation of directly standardized rates
(DSR) with improved confidence intervals (The Stata JournalVolume 12
Number 4 <http://www.stata-journal.com/sj12-4.html>: pp. 688-701)
The updated version allows to compute standardized rate ratios (SRR)
when by() option is specified. Confidence limits of SRR are computed
according to the method proposed by Tiwari, Clegg and Zou (Statistical
Methods in Medical Research 15: 547–569)
A new option -fay- allows also to compute the upper limit of DSR
according to the formula proposed by Fay and Feuer that sometimes is
still used even if the new Tiwari formula should preferred.
Bets wishes
Enzo
