The Standardization of Rates

Joseph L. Fleiss, Bruce R. Levin, Myunghee Cho Paik

Open publisher page 34 citations

Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of the standardization of rates. We first present some reasons for standardization, and some warnings against its uncritical use. We then define two types of standardization, direct and indirect, and set the stage for a comparison of the two. Later, we present some other methods of standardization, and discuss techniques for standardizing on two correlated dimensions. A problem solving section appears at the end of the chapter.
