在这篇文章中，我们说明了命令分布，它使用Tiwari，Clegg和Zou（2006，Statistical Methods in Medical Research 15：547-569）开发的公式计算年龄标准化率，并使用有效的区间估计作为Fay和Feuer（1997，Statistics in Medicine 16：791-801）提出的方法的修改。该方法目前用于马里兰州贝塞斯达国家癌症研究所的监测、流行病学和最终结果项目;意大利癌症登记协会（Associazione Italiana Registro Tumori，AIRTUM）;以及北方意大利的伦巴第间皮瘤和鼻窦癌登记处。该命令产生一个紧凑的输出，并允许指定速率乘数，例如x100，000或x1，000，000。此外，可以轻松地将比率和置信限导出到外部数据集以进行进一步处理（例如，制作图表）。命令distrate是对官方Stata命令dstdize的有用补充。
In this article, we illustrate the command distrate, which calculates age-standardized rates with efficient interval estimation by using formulas developed by Tiwari, Clegg, and Zou (2006, Statistical Methods in Medical Research 15: 547-569) as a modification of the method proposed by Fay and Feuer (1997, Statistics in Medicine 16: 791-801). This method is currently used in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland; the Italian Association of Cancer Registries (Associazione Italiana Registro Tumori, AIRTUM); and the Lombardy Mesothelioma and Sinonasal Cancer Registry in Northern Italy. The command produces a compact output and allows for the possibility of specifying a rate multiplier, for instance, x100,000 or x1,000,000. Furthermore, rates and confidence limits can be easily exported to an external dataset for further processing (for example, for making graphs). The command distrate is a useful addition to the official Stata command dstdize.
