Hello,
I am calculating rates of a particular disease in two different groups
using survey data. I am using SVYRATIO for this and it is working
nicely. Now I would like to create a rate ratio by dividing the rate
from one group by the rate of the other group. I can do this with NLCOM
and it works nicely. My problem is that the confidence intervals for my
rate ratio are not logit transformed, thus some of my lower confidence
intervals are negative. I really need a confidence interval that cannot
go below zero. How can I do this? Is their a transformation that I can
run on the ends of the confidence intervals? Is their an option that I
am not aware of on NLCOM? Is there a better way to do this all
together? Please keep in mind that I am neither a statistician, or a
Stata expert. Thanks so much,
