Calculate the cumulative rate. — cumrate • canregtools

It was used to calculate the cumulative rate up to a defined age limit.

Usage

cumrate(
  count,
  pop,
  rate = NULL,
  eage = 70,
  agewidth = 5,
  sep_zero = TRUE,
  mp = 1,
  decimal = 6
)

Arguments

count: Number of cases number.
pop: Number of population at risk.
rate: Age specific incidence or mortality rate.
eage: The defined age limit of the calculated cumulative rate.
agewidth: The age band width of the age specific rate.
sep_zero: Logical value, if the 0 age group was separate.
mp: A multiplier used to scale the calculated rates. Default is 1.
decimal: Decimals of the calculated rates.

Value

Cumulative rate.
