Calculate truncated age standardized rate.

Calculate truncated age standardized rate.

truncrate(
  cases,
  pop,
  stdpop = NULL,
  trunc_age = c(35, 64),
  agewidth = 5,
  sep_zero = TRUE,
  mp = 100,
  decimal = 2
)

Arguments

cases

Number of cases.

pop

Number of population at risk.

stdpop

The standard population.

trunc_age

The truncated age range.

agewidth

Age groups width, default is 5.

sep_zero

Logical value, if the 0 age group was a separate group.

mp

A multiplier used to scale the calculated rates. Default is 100.

decimal

Decimals of the calculated rates, default is 2.

Value

Truncated age standardized rate.
