Introduction | The following packages must be installed and loaded if not already available | Package functions | Non-aggregate functions | Create some test data for the non-aggregate functions | Execute phe_proportion and phe_rate | Aggregate functions | Execute phe_mean | Standardised Aggregate functions | Create some test data for the standardised aggregate functions | Execute calculate_dsr | Execute calculate_ISRatio and calculate_ISRate

Introduction | The following packages must be installed and loaded if not already available | First let's create some data to play with | Prepare the data frame | Now let's calculate some DSRs | Alternative Standard Populations | Calculating DSRs when the events are non-independent | Calculating DSRs when there are zero deaths in some age bands

Introduction | Function and inputs | Example 1 - default (normal) distribution | Example 2 - rate | Example 3 - proportion | Interpreting the Mean Average Difference (MAD)
