Dichotomous transformations for statistical inference about odds ratios

Odds ratios for mediation analysis for a dichotomous outcome.

For dichotomous outcomes, the authors discuss when the standard approaches to mediation analysis used in epidemiology and the social sciences are valid, and they provide alternative mediation analysis techniques when the standard approaches will not work. They extend definitions of controlled direct effects and natural direct and indirect effects from the risk difference scale to the odds ratio...

Making sense of odds and odds ratios.

Odds and odds ratios are hard for many clinicians to understand. Odds are the probability of an event occurring divided by the probability of the event not occurring. An odds ratio is the odds of the event in one group, for example, those exposed to a drug, divided by the odds in another group not exposed. Odds ratios always exaggerate the true relative risk to some degree. When the probability...

Bayesian inference about odds ratio structure in ordinal contingency tables

When the goal of a study is to compare two groups on an ordinal categorical scale, a large number of inferential methods are available. Most methods are designed to detect a location effect, such as by focusing a single-degree-of-freedom test on an effect parameter. Often, rather than merely summarizing by a P -value to describe the evidence against a null hypothesis, it is of interest to consi...
