istdize produces indirectly standardized rates using a standard population. This standardization methods is indicated in situations where the stratum-specific rates for the population being studied are either unavailable or are based on small numbers and thus unreliable. The standardization utilizes the stratum-specific rates of a standard population to calculate the expected number of cases in the study population(s), sums them and then compares them to the actual number of cases observed. The standard population's information must be contained in another Stata data file and specified via using on the command line.
