Calculate the age standardized rate using the direct method.

ageadjust(
  count,
  pop,
  rate = NULL,
  stdpop = NULL,
  method = "gamma",
  conf_level = 0.95,
  mp = 1e+05
)

Arguments

count: The number of cases of a specific disease or condition.
pop: The total population of the same group or region where the disease cases (count) were observed.
rate: Disease rate, which is the number of cases (count) per unit of population (pop).
stdpop: Standardized population for age standardization.
method: Method used for calculating the age-standardized rate, options are 'gamma', 'normal', or 'lognormal', default is 'gamma'.
conf_level: Confidence level for calculating confidence intervals, value between 0 and 1, default is 0.95.
mp: A multiplier used to scale the calculated rates. Default is 100000.

Value

Age standardized rate and its confidence interval.

Examples

cases <- c(50, 60, 45, 70)
pop <- c(1000, 1200, 1100, 900)
spop <- c(800, 1000, 1100, 900)
ageadjust(cases, pop, stdpop = spop, mp = 100000)
