The oddsratio function simply computes a point estimate and confidence interval for an odds ratio.

oddsratio(x, y = NULL, conf.level = .95, digits=2)

Arguments

x

x can be either a table (then y can be NULL) or a factor.

y

If x is a factor, y also has to be a factor; x and y are then used to create the crosstable.

conf.level

The confidence level of the confidence interval.

digits

Number of digits to round output to

Value

The oddsratio function returns an object with the input and output.

Examples

### Generate two factor vectors treatment <- factor(c(rep(0, 33), rep(1, 45), rep(0, 63), rep(1, 21)), levels=c(0,1), labels=c("no", "yes")); survival <- factor(c(rep(0, 78), rep(1, 84)), levels=c(0, 1), labels=c("no", "yes")); ### Compute and display odds ratio oddsratio(treatment, survival);
#> Odds ratio point estimate: 0.24 #> 95% confidence interval: [0.13, 0.48]
### Or present a table oddsratio(table(treatment, survival));
#> Odds ratio point estimate: 0.24 #> 95% confidence interval: [0.13, 0.48]
