Prevalence estimates are a function of incidence rates, mortality and migration and in mature epidemics the use of incidence rates seems appropriate [11]. Age and sex-specific prevalence's for the four surveys were estimated using all definitive HIV-1 serological results for each survey. Throughout this discussion the words 'sample' and 'population' will have these specific meanings. Retrieved January 24, 2007, from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat.htm. The response proportion for each survey was calculated by dividing the number of participants by the number of listed eligible in that particular survey. (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics). However, the proportion successfully typed (sampling rate) is, of course, known. To use statistical nomenclature, the cases that are successfully typed thus constitute our 'sample' from the 'population' of the sputum confirmed TB subjects. The methods for estimating the proportion of cases due to recent transmission by using cluster analysis are discussed. Statistical methods for rates and proportions.
