| riskratio {fmsb} | R Documentation |
Calculate risk ratio (a kind of relative risk) and its confidence intervals based on approximation, followed by null hypothesis (risk ratio equals to 1) testing.
riskratio(X, Y, m1, m2, conf.level=0.95, p.calc.by.independence=TRUE)
X |
The number of disease occurence among exposed cohort. |
Y |
The number of disease occurence among non-exposed cohort. |
m1 |
The number of individuals in exposed cohort group. |
m2 |
The number of individuals in non-exposed cohort group. |
conf.level |
Probability for confidence intervals. Default is 0.95. |
p.calc.by.independence |
Logical. If TRUE, calculating p-value by testing the null-hypothesis of independence between exposure and disease. Otherwise, calculating p-value by inverse-function of confidence intervals calculation (the result becomes the same as the vcd package). Default TRUE. |
estimate |
Calculated point estimate of risk ratio. |
conf.int |
A numeric vector of length 2 to give upper/lower limit of confidence intervals. |
p.value |
The significant probability of the result of null-hypothesis testing. |
