LIMITED DATA
• Valid – small n pools the sites toward the middle• If your data is in the middle deciles – you either have small
number of cases or you are doing as expected.• “Needs Improvement”- take advantage of this notation!
• Usually upper decile. If your observe rate between your first and second SAR stays the same, additional cases (next SAR) will reduce the margin of error. The result will become precise.
• If your data is in the decile 8,9,10 – you are in the worst 70%
