ci_ex: Cumulative incidence data on high-fat dairy food and colorectal cancer risk

Description

The dataset reports the summarized dose-response results from a cumlative-incidence study on high-fat dairy food intake and risk of colorectal cancer, first presented by Larsson, Bergkvist, and Wolk (2005).

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 5 observations on the following 8 variables:

doseassigned dose levels.
casenumber of cases for each exposure level.
ntotal number of subjects for each exposure level.
adjrradjusted risk ratios for each exposure level.
lblower bound for the confidence limits of the adjusted risk ratios.
ubupper bound for the confidence limits of the adjusted risk ratios.
logrrnatural logarithm of adjusted risk ratios.
sestandard error for the logarithm of the adjusted risk ratios.
