Hello, oh wise ones out in the Stata universe!
I need a little help here.
I have a data set with variables below:
cc (binary 0, 1 for infected or control)
beddays (number of occupied beds per ward per month)
ward (ward patient was admitted to)
onset (month of infection onset)
 
My two questions are:
1. Does the incidence density of this disease vary significantly by
month? (is there a seasonal trend?)
2. Does the seasonal incidence density vary significantly BY WARD ? (ie,
are there "hot wards").
 
Can someone help me writing the commands for these two questions? I got
bogged down in the
manuals and am brain fried!!!!
