Below is what I used but I am uncertain about. Can anyone tell me whether I am right? What is the type of trend test (it said score test but I need more info)? Is there other command to perform trend test?
Many thanks!
set up data
To calculate incidence rate by age group:
To test for trend of incidence rate over time
Below is the result of stmh:
Many thanks!
set up data
Code:
stset fromps_topsadx, failure(psa) id(studyid)
Code:
stptime, at (20(20)60)
Code:
stsplit age_group_by10, at(10 20 30 40 50) stmh age_group_by10
Code:
