Calculate age-specific rates and variance

Given a bare (unquoted) column of counts and population, will return the rate in 100,000 as well as the variance (using Poisson approximation).

Usage

calc_asrate_var(df, new_name, death_col, pop_col = pop)

Arguments

df

processed MCOD dataframe

new_name

bare prefix of the new column names (e.g., opioid)

death_col

column of counts for numerator of rate

pop_col

column of population for denominator of rate

Value

dataframe with two new columns

Examples

df <- data.frame(deaths = c(10, 20), pop = c(1e5, 2e5))
calc_asrate_var(df, opioid, deaths)
#>   deaths   pop opioid_rate opioid_var
#> 1     10 1e+05          10         10
#> 2     20 2e+05          10          5
