The odds ratio is “portable” but not the relative risk: Time to do away with the log link in binomial regression
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Objectives: In a recent paper we suggest that the relative risk (RR) be replaced with the odds ratio (OR) as the effect measure of choice in clinical epidemiology. In response, Chu, and colleagues raise several points that ...
