Arguments

OR, logOR, RR, ARR, NNT

Odds-ratio of odds(p1)/odds(p0), log-Odds-ratio of log(odds(p1)/odds(p0)), Risk ratio of p1/p0, Absolute Risk Reduction of p1 - p0, or Number-needed-to-treat of 1/(p1 - p0). OR and logOR can also be a logistic regression model.

p0

Baseline risk

log

If:

  • TRUE:

    • In oddsratio_to_*(), OR input is treated as log(OR).

    • In *_to_oddsratio(), returned value is log(OR).

  • FALSE:

    • In logoddsratio_to_*(), logOR input is treated as OR.

    • In *_to_logoddsratio(), returned value is OR.

verbose

Toggle warnings and messages on or off.

...

Arguments passed to and from other methods.

Value

Converted index, or if OR/logOR is a logistic regression model, a parameter table with the converted indices.
