Cumulative incidence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cumulative incidence is a measure of frequency, as in epidemiology, where it is a measure of disease frequency.

Cumulative incidence is calculated by the number of new cases divided by the candidate population over a period of time.

It may also be calculated by the incidence rate multiplied by duration.

CI(t)=1-e^{-IR(t) * D}\,
