Abstract: Abstract Comparison of observed mortality with ‘known’, ‘background’, or ‘standard’ rates has taken place for several hundred years. With the developments of regression models for survival data, an increasing interest has arisen in individualizing the standardisation using covariates of each individual. Also, account sometimes needs to be taken of random variation in the standard group.
