Incidence 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. Features: Compares and contrasts
incidence rates with risks, odds, and hazards. Shows stratified
methods, including standardization, inverse-variance weighting, and
Mantel-Haenszel methods Describes Poisson regression methods for
adjusted rate ratios and rate differences. Examines linear
regression for rate differences with an emphasis on common
problems. Gives methods for correcting confidence intervals.
Illustrates problems related to collapsibility. Explores extensions
of count models for rates, including negative binomial regression,
methods for clustered data, and the analysis of longitudinal data.
Also, reviews controversies and limitations. Presents matched
cohort methods in detail. Gives marginal methods for converting
adjusted rate ratios to rate differences, and vice versa.
Demonstrates instrumental variable methods. Compares Poisson
regression with the Cox proportional hazards model. Also,
introduces Royston-Parmar models. All data and analyses are in
online Stata files which readers can download. Peter Cummings is
Professor Emeritus, Department of Epidemiology, School of Public
Health, University of Washington, Seattle WA. His research was
primarily in the field of injuries. He used matched cohort methods
to estimate how the use of seat belts and presence of airbags were
related to death in a traffic crash. He is author or co-author of
over 100 peer-reviewed articles.
