This is the Wikipedia data:
Age Incidence
(new affected)
per thousand
person–years
65–69 3
70–74 6
75–79 9
80–84 23
85–89 40
90– 69
This is the Vispedia output. I haven't had time to retrace the
construction ... or to try it myself, but there appears to be a
discrepancy.
This may be a browser issue too, I'm in Firefox.
What's coming out is a plot with (x,y) as follows:
(3,3)
(6, 6)
(9,9)
(23,23)
(40,40)
Here's a paste:
X
[ Age ]
Y
[ Incidence (new affected) per thousand personâÃÂÃÂyears ]
Age: 65–69 → Age: 0 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand
person–years: 3.03.0
Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years: 3.03.0
Age: 70–74 → Age: 1 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand
person–years: 6.06.0
Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years: 6.06.0
Age: 75–79 → Age: 2 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand
person–years: 9.09.0
Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years: 9.09.0
Age: 80–84 → Age: 3 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand
person–years: 23.023.0
Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years: 23.023.0
Age: 85–89 → Age: 4 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand
person–years: 40.040.0
Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years: 40.040.0
Age: 90– → Age: 5 → Incidence (new affected) per thousand person–years:
69.069.0
Sorry I wasn't able to take the time to provide more answers than
questions....
