Athanase Polymenis
Abstract:In pharmacoeconomic literature, age has been shown to be an important variate concerning cost analyses of End-Stage-Renal-Disease (ESRD) patients. In the present article, pooling of data relative to ages of ESRD patients is proposed as a method for estimating typical age parameters like means and variances, and also for comparing age differences between countries. Statistical techniques for mean and variance estimation, large sample statistical theory, confidence intervals for means, and parametric tests for s… Show more
