I am trying to calculate the Incidence rate ratio (IRR) using proc stdrate. In particular I want to obtain the following statistics: Number of observations and the expected number of observations in the exposed group ; Number of observations and the expected number of observations in the non-exposed group ; IRR and the 95% CI. I have gone through the proc stdrate user’s guide however I have been unable to work out how to extract these statistics. The code I have used is: proc stdrate data = exposed_reduced refdata = control_reduced              method = indirect              stat=rate              effect=ratio              ;    population event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;    reference event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;    strata post_strata rank_strata agegrp_cancer_1 year_cancer / effect ; run; Any guidance would be much appreciated. ...

Hi I am using the proc stdrate to calculate Incidence Rate Ratios (IRRs). The code looks like this: ods graphics on; proc stdrate data = exposed_reduced refdata = richmond_reduced              method=indirect              stat=rate              ;    population event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;    reference event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;    strata post_strata rank_strata agegrp_cancer_1 year_cancer / smr ; run; ods graphics off; However, I am getting the following error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ERROR: Physical file does not exist, S:\SAS\SAS Temporary Files\_TD5952_WINSASAPP_\_D8C36FB10FE46E89B6E9441823BB839.bmp. From my searching it appears the problem occurs when you have relational data and have a large number of rows to report. Any ideas how to get around this? Thank you! Andrew ... View more

Hi everyone Can someone please tell me if you can get access to SAS/STAT 12.1 when using SASEG5.1? The reason I ask is that we are hoping to use proc stdrate, however it is only accessible through SAS/STAT 12.1. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Regards, Andrew ... View more
