Hello,
I would like to compare two directly standardized rates by computing a standardized rate ratio and obtaining a p-value for this comparison. I have read through previous posts about -dstdize- and -distrate- but could not identify a way to compute the p-values. I have documented my code below:
I am looking to get the p-value similar to the table in "Output 107.1.6: Effect Estimates" found at the bottom of the page of the following link: http://support.sas.com/documentation...examples01.htm
Thank you,
Caroline

Code:

Thank you,
