Theoretical Population Biology, 1978
Abstract Demographers commonly interpret incidence rates (for first marriages, say, or for births of a given order), cumulated over age for a closed cohort, as prevalences of corresponding demographic statuses. Since one is hard put to find an explicit justification for this interpretation in the literature, this note offers a mathematical proof that

BMJ, 2010
Researchers evaluated whether a community falls prevention service reduced the rate of falls in older people. They used a randomised controlled trial design. Participants were recruited if they were aged over 60 years, had experienced a fall while living at home or in residential care, and an emergency ambulance had been called but had not taken them ...

Idiot Savants: Rate of Incidence
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977Based on the replies to a survey of 300 public residential facilities for the mentally retarded, an incidence rate for idiot savants was established. This rate of .06% is based on the reporting of 54 idiot savants within a population of 90,000 residents. Several reasons for caution in the acceptance of this incidence rate are discussed.

Modeling Disease Incidence Rates in Families
Epidemiology, 1998We apply an extended Cox model to study latent genes and measured environmental exposures simultaneously as risk factors for disease. Using this method, we assume Mendelian transmission of the genes and either dominant or recessive gene action. We compared the results from this model with those obtained under a model that includes the environmental ...

Reliability of reported death rates and incidence rates
Preventive Medicine, 1980Abstract In attempting to ascertain whether differences exist among population subgroups or whether changes have occurred over time in the incidence of or mortality from a particular disease, the reliability of the observed data should be evaluated.

Incidence rates for complete cusp fracture
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 2001Abstract – Objectives: Although complete cusp fracture is acknowledged to occur frequently, incidence rates have been reported rarely. This study determined incidence rates for complete coronal cusp fracture per person and per tooth type. Methods: All fractures presenting among enrollees in a dental health maintenance organization using two ...

Are per-incident rape-pregnancy rates higher than per-incident consensual pregnancy rates?
Human Nature, 2003Is a given instance of rape more likely to result in pregnancy than a given instance of consensual sex? This paper undertakes a review and critique of the literature on rape-pregnancy. Next, it presents our own estimation, from U.S. government data, of pregnancy rates for reproductive age victims of penile-vaginal rape.

STATISTICAL INJURY INCIDENCE RATE COMPARISONS
IIE Transactions, 1993Abstract Statistical methods for comparing two or more injury incidence rates are presented as an aid in selecting operations for ergonomic intervention to reduce work place injuries. The methods assume that injuries occur according to a Poisson process and the analysis is conditional on the total number of injuries.
