Obtaining Confidence Intervals for the Risk Ratio in Cohort Studies
Abstract
Three methods of obtaining confidence intervals for the risk ratio offailure in two independent binomial samples are compared. The three are (A) the method of Thomas and Gart (1977), (B) an adaptation of the method of Fieller using the normal distribution, and (C) a proposed method using a logarithmic transformation. On the basis of extensive simulations we have concluded that Method A is reasonable but conservative, Method B is erratic and should not be used, aszd Method C is reasonable and less conservative than Method A. Method C, cotnputationally the simplest, is recommended.

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.
