• TITLE: A Note on Improving Inference of Relative Risk

  KEYWORDS: Bartlett Correction, Confidence Intervals, Coverage Property, Relative Risk

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Statistics, Vol.9 No.1, February 19, 2019

  ABSTRACT: Relative risk is a popular measure to compare risk of an outcome in the exposed group to the unexposed group. By applying the delta method and Central Limit Theorem, [1] derives two approximate confidence intervals for the relative risk, and [2] approximates the confidence interval for the relative risk via the likelihood ratio statistic. Both of these approximations require sample size to be large. In this paper, by adjusting the likelihood ratio statistic obtained by [2], a new method is proposed to obtain the confidence interval for the relative risk. Simulation results showed that the proposed method is extremely accurate even when the sample size is small.
