CI_multinom

Data frame of observed health counts and population by deprivation.

Number of deprivation categories/groups.

<code>CI_multinom</code> simulates CI using the multinomial distribution, internal function.

internal

Tools for calculating deprivation measures and analysing health outcomes and mortality by deprivation.
Included are the functions: zscore() and w_pcntile() for developing deprivation measures and the functions smr(),
st_rate() and rii() for calculating standardized mortality ratios, direct standardized rates and Slope and Relative
indices of Inequality (SII and RII). Test data is included (dep_data and health_data).
The RII/SII are calculated following Pamuk ER (1985) <doi:10.1080/0032472031000141256>.
The confidence intervals for SII/RII are calculated using a multinomial distribution as described in Lumme et al (2015)
<doi:10.1007/s10742-015-0137-1>.
