Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIncidence rates are counts divided by person-time; mortality rates are a well-known example. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompares and contrasts incidence rates with risks, odds, and hazards.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eShows stratified methods, including standardization, inverse-variance weighting, and Mantel-Haenszel methods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes Poisson regression methods for adjusted rate ratios and rate differences.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExamines linear regression for rate differences with an emphasis on common problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGives methods for correcting confidence intervals.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIllustrates problems related to collapsibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExplores extensions of count models for rates, including negative binomial regression, methods for clustered data, and the analysis of longitudinal data.
