\alias{probmap}
\title{Probability mapping for rates}
\description{
The function returns a data frame of rates for counts in populations at risk with crude rates, expected counts of cases, relative risks, and Poisson probabilities.
}
\usage{
probmap(n, x, row.names=NULL, alternative="less")
}
\arguments{
\item{n}{a numeric vector of counts of cases}
\item{x}{a numeric vector of populations at risk}
\item{row.names}{row names passed through to output data frame}
\item{alternative}{default \dQuote{less}, may be set to \dQuote{greater}}
}
\details{
The function returns a data frame, from which rates may be mapped after class intervals have been chosen. The class intervals used in the examples are mostly taken from the referenced source.
}
\value{
\item{raw}{raw (crude) rates}
\item{expCount}{expected counts of cases assuming global rate}
\item{relRisk}{relative risks: ratio of observed and expected counts of cases multiplied by 100}
\item{pmap}{Poisson probability map values: probablility of getting a more ``extreme'' count than actually observed - one-tailed, default alternative observed \dQuote{less} than expected}
}
