Question
What does incidence rate ratio mean in this specific case?
"Poisson regression models were used to estimate the suicide incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) along with their 95% CIs within each targeted age group."
The tables give the IRRs as numbers like 1.005 and 1.007, but I don't understand what the numerator and denominator are supposed to be.
