BINOMIAL REGRESSION IN GLIM: ESTIMATING RISK RATIOS AND RISK DIFFERENCES1
Abstract
Although an estimate of the odds ratio adjusted for other covariates can be obtained by logistic regression, until now there has been no simple way to estimate other interesting parameters such as the risk ratio and risk difference multivariately for prospective binomial data. These parameters can be estimated in the generalized linear model framework by choosing different link functions or transformations of binomial or binary data. Macros for use with the program GLIM provide a simple method to compute parameters other than the odds ratio while adjusting for confounding factors. A data set presented previously is used as an example.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
