Estimates piecewise linear spline models for assessing temporal trends in cancer incidence and mortality rates. Provides tools for identifying and reporting knot locations, annual percent changes (APCs), and average annual percent changes (AAPCs), facilitating the analysis and communication of changes in cancer rates over time.
The goal of cantrends is to fit segmented line regression models
(i.e., piecewise linear spline models) to estimate trends in time-series
cancer incidence and mortality data.
