Standardized rates are used to compare an event in a study population with a standard population. They allow to control the confounding effects of other variables and to size the event according to the same standard. In this paper several methodologies are evaluated for the estimation, through confidence intervals, of the standardized rates. Some of them based on the normal distribution, Poisson and gamma. By using a simulation study, with three different values for the rates, the performance of the moments, gamma, bootstrap and Bayesian confidence intervals are evaluated. The performance of each interval is measure through a index that takes into account both the coverage level and the amplitude of the interval and it also permits to evalu...
