title: 'EpiStandard: Directly Standardise Rates by Age'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.EpiStandard
abstract: Provides functions for age standardisation of epidemiological measures such
  as incidence and prevalence rates. It allows users to apply standard population
  structures to observed age-specific estimates in order to obtain comparable summary
  measures across populations or time periods. Functions support calculation of standardised
  rates, outcome counts, and corresponding confidence intervals. The tools are designed
  to facilitate reproducible and transparent adjustment for differences in age distributions
  in epidemiological and public health research.
