  <dc:title>Tools for Direct Standardisation with Confidence Intervals</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package epistandardiseR version 0.0.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides tools to compute directly standardised rates 
    using the 2013 European Standard Population for age and deprivation-standardised 
    rates using a 10% per decile assumption. Sex standardisation uses an assumed equal proportion of both males and females. 
    The package Includes variance estimation and 95% confidence intervals for population health applications. 
    Functions support flexible grouping variables and age bands, enabling 
    reproducible and automated analyses.</dc:description>
