The Editors have identified two errors that require correction, as described below:
-
1.
1. Chapter 7, Equation 7.6 description for term σ, page 150
Equation 7.6 is written correctly, however the term σ is incorrectly described as “σ = expected standard deviation of the mean difference.”
The correct description for σ is as follows:
σ = expected standard deviation of the mean for population 1 (σ1) or population 2 (σ2)
-
2.
Chapter 22, Equation 22.2 Step 2, page 424
The lower and upper limits of the 95 % confidence interval for the incidence rate are incorrectly shown as:
$$ \text{Lower} \ \text{limit}={\text{e}}^{\frac{A}{B}-1.96*SE}$$$$ \text{Upper}\ \text{limit}={\text{e}}^{\frac{A}{B}+1.96*SE}$$The correct formulas are:
$$ \text{Upper}\ \text{limit}={\text{e}}^{{\rm In} \left({\frac{A}{B}}\right)+{1.96*SE}}$$$$ \text{Upper}\ \text{limit}={\text{e}}^{{\rm In} \left({\frac{A}{B}}\right)-{1.96*SE}}$$The Editors apologize if these errors caused the reader any inconvenience.
