title: On a method of robust standardization.
abstract: "The need of summary measures of the incidence of a phenomenon independent of age structure (composition) and other compositional factors is noted in demographic literature.  One such index is developed in this paper.  A standardized index is defined as robust, if it is least sensitive [to] the age structure of the standard population.  The Banerjee-Stuvel price index is shown to have this property by a computer simulation experiment."
