What’s the Risk: Differentiating Risk Ratios, Odds Ratios, and Hazard Ratios? [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 Risk ratios, odds ratios, and hazard ratios are three common, but often misused, statistical measures in clinical research. In this paper, the authors dissect what each of these terms define, and provide examples from the medical literature to illustrate each of these statistical measures.

Cureus, 2023 Background Relative measures, including risk ratios (RRs) and odds ratios (ORs), are reported in many epidemiological studies. RRs represent how many times a condition is likely to develop when exposed to a risk factor. The upper limit of RRs is the multiplicative inverse of the baseline incidence. Ignoring the upper limits of RRs can lead to reporting

Measurements of Breast Density: No Ratio for a Ratio [PDF]
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2005 AbstractBreast density, as visible on mammograms, is generally assessed as the occupied percentage of the breast and is a risk factor for breast cancer. Various studies have looked into the causation and alteration of relative density but the relation of a determinant with a relative measure does not allow a direct etiologic interpretation.

Copper:caeruloplasmin ratio [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2007 Investigation of copper status can be a diagnostic challenge. The non-caeruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) has deficiencies; accordingly, the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio has been suggested as an alternative index of copper status. A reference interval for this index was derived.

Isotopic Ratio, Isotonic Ratio, Isobaric Ratio and Shannon Information Uncertainty [PDF]
Communications in Theoretical Physics, 2014 The isoscaling and the isobaric yield ratio difference (IBD) probes, which both are constructed by yield ratio of fragment, provide cancelation of parameters. The information entropy theory is introduced to explain the physical meaning of the isoscaling and IBD probes.

Interval Estimation for the Sortino Ratio and the Omega Ratio [PDF]
Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2013 In this article, asymptotic confidence intervals (CIs) for the Sortino and Omega ratios are proposed and analyzed. First, the CIs are derived under the assumption of temporal independence and identical distribution of returns. Later they are obtained assuming that the returns process is strictly stationary and α-mixing of a certain size.
