oddsRatio: Odds Ratio for 2X2 Contingency Tables

Description

This function calculates the odds ratio for a 2 X 2 contingency table and a confidence interval (default conf.level is 95 percent) for the estimated odds ratio. x should be a matrix, data frame or table. "Successes" should be located in column 1 of x, and the treatment of interest should be located in row 2. The odds ratio is calculated as (Odds row 2) / (Odds row 1). The confidence interval is calculated from the log(OR) and backtransformed.

Usage

oddsRatio(x, conf.level = 0.95)
  ## S3 method for class 'oddsRatio':
print(x, digits = 4, ...)
