Bayesian projections: What are the effects of excluding data from younger age groups? (2005)
Journal Article

Bayesian age-period-cohort models are used increasingly to project cancer incidence and mortality rates. Data for younger age groups for which rates are low are often discarded from the analysis. The authors explored the effect of excluding these dat... Read More about Bayesian projections: What are the effects of excluding data from younger age groups?.
