Relative Risk Calculations in R
This package computes relative risks for both prospective and retrospective samples using GLM and Logit-Log transformations. It will always produce relative risk estimates, although it may fail sometimes to produce confidence intervals.
متن کاملSimultaneous confidence bounds for relative risks in multiple comparisons to control.
We discuss the construction of asymptotic simultaneous upper confidence limits that jointly bound relative risks formed by comparing several treatments to a control. Motivated by a vaccine study, we investigate the performance of several methods under such settings. Inverting the minimum of score statistics, together with estimating the correlation matrix of these statistics under the null give...
متن کاملA Regression-Based Method for Estimating Risks and Relative Risks in Case-Base Studies
Both the absolute risk and the relative risk (RR) have a crucial role to play in epidemiology. RR is often approximated by odds ratio (OR) under the rare-disease assumption in conventional case-control study; however, such a study design does not provide an estimate for absolute risk. The case-base study is an alternative approach which readily produces RR estimation without resorting to the ra...
متن کاملAnalysis of Generalized Exponential Distribution Under Adaptive Type-II Progressive Hybrid Censored Competing Risks Data
This paper presents estimates of the parameters based on adaptive type-II progressive hybrid censoring scheme (AT-II PHCS) in the presence of the competing risks model. We consider the competing risks have generalized exponential distributions (GED). The maximum likelihood method is used to derive point and asymptotic confidence intervals for the unknown parameters. The relative risks due to ea...
متن کاملPRACTICE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY Performance of Floating Absolute Risks
A recent investigation of hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer risk used a method called ‘‘floating absolute risks’’ (FARs) to compute confidence intervals for relative hazards. This method has been used in other medical studies and has received controversy. This controversy stems from the correct implementation of this method. However, there has been no direct comparison of the FAR me...
