Joinpoint has the ability to process both delay and non-delay adjusted statistics exported from SEER*Stat. If a new Joinpoint session is created using a SEER*Stat dictionary (DIC) file that contains delay adjusted statistics, two new "Run Types" will be available within the Dependent Variable section on the Input File tab. The following options will be provided within this control:
Delay Adjusted Data – by selecting this option, Joinpoint will only read in and analyze the selected delay adjusted statistic.
Delay & Non-Delay Data – by selecting this option, Joinpoint will read in and analyze both the delay and non-delay statistics for each cohort. The delay and non-delay model graphs and associated Joinpoint statistics will appear together for each cohort.
For information about delay-adjusted adjusted incidence data, please go to the NCI website.
