Chapter 9.  Estimation of Calibrated Disease Prevalence (1999- 2009)

 

To estimate rates based on calibrated disease groups we combined the community and institutionalized populations. We estimated prevalence and standard errors of calibrated disease groups from each multiple imputed (MI) dataset, and combined estimates from the 5 MI datasets using standard MI rules.  The 'final weight' was calculated as the product of the existing MCBS survey weight and the calculated 'selection' weight. The results across the years, 1999-2009, are shown in Table 9.
