See the technical report #63 of the Mayo Biostat group for examples http://www.mayo.edu/research/departments-divisions/department-health-sciences-research/division-biomedical-statistics-infomatics/technical-reports <http://www.mayo.edu/research/departments-divisions/department-health-sciences-research/division-biomedical-statistics-informatics/technical-reports> Terry Therneau ---------- begin included message ----------- I am looking for R example codes to compute age-standardized death rates by smoking and psychological distress status using person-years of observation created from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality Files. Any help with the example codes or references will be appreciated. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
