Analysis of Incidence Rates offers a detailed discussion of the practical aspects of analyzing incidence rates. Important pitfalls and areas of controversy are discussed. The text is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and analysts in the disciplines of epidemiology, biostatistics, social sciences, economics, and psychology.Features:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Compares and contrasts incidence rates with risks, odds, and hazards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Shows stratified methods, including standardization, inverse-variance weighting, and Mantel-Haenszel methods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Describes Poisson regression methods for adjusted rate ratios and rate differences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Examines linear regression for rate differences with an emphasis on common problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gives methods for correcting confidence intervals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Illustrates problems related to collapsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Explores extensions of count models for rates, including negative binomial regression, methods for clustered data, and the analysis of longitudinal data.
