DATAB overestimating person-years?
Quote from Deleted user on 01/18/2024, 2:34 pmI’ve run DATAB to get person-tables over the period Jan 1, 1999 through Dec 31, 2012, a period of 14 total years. After loading the grouped dataset in AMFIT, Epicure’s estimate of mean person-years is 15.7 years, which is more than the total number of possible years per person. Does this seem reasonable given binned person-time averaging, or does this imply user error?
Thanks!

Doesn’t sound right by the quick description. Can you send the datab script and log to info@hirosoft.com? Let’s start with the syntax and make sure that the start/stop dates are properly defined. Please include the output from your mean statement as well as a ‘mean’ statement for all time variables.
Thanks!
Eric
