getStdRate

A function to calculate the standard rate according to the Canadian standard population data set from year 1991.

Formatting of population and case data, calculation of Standardized
Incidence Ratios, and fitting the BYM model using 'INLA'. For details see Brown (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i12>.
