RDmn1: Risk Difference and Score CI between two groups without strata by MN method

Description

Risk difference and its score confidence interval between two groups without stratification

Usage

RDmn1(y1, n1, y2, n2, conf.level=0.95, eps=1e-8)

Value

The result is a data.frame. There is no standard error.

p1

proportion from the first group, y1/n1

p2

proportion from the second group, y2/n2

RD

risk difference, p1 - p2

lower

lower confidence limit of RD

upper

upper confidence limit of RD

Arguments

y1

positive event count of test (the first) group

n1

total count of the test (the first) group

y2

positive event count of control (the second) group

n2

total count of control (the second) group

conf.level

confidence level

eps

absolute value less than eps is regarded as negligible

Details

It calculates risk difference and its score confidence interval between two groups. The confidence interval is asymmetric and there is no standard error in the output. If you need percent scale, multiply the output by 100. This does not support stratification. This implementation uses nlminb minimization function.
