Use this calculation to reproduce a defined quantitative method when the observations, units, sampling process, and assumptions match the method shown here.

Exposed events

Required integer.

Exposed total

Required integer.

Control events

Required integer.

Control total

Required integer.

The cited overview of Relative risk supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.^[1]

Calculate relative risk from event and total counts in two groups. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.

Relative risk

Returned number.

• A numerical result does not by itself establish data quality, causation, representativeness, independence, distributional fit, or practical significance.
• Exposed events must be at least 0.
• Exposed total must be at least 1.
• Control events must be at least 0.
• Control total must be at least 1.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.

Inspect the underlying data, visualize its distribution, report uncertainty and sample size, and compare the result with a robust or domain-specific method where appropriate.

• Risk Difference Calculator

  Calculate treatment risk minus control risk from event and total counts.

• F-Statistic Calculator

  Calculate an F statistic as the ratio of two variances.

• Fisher's Exact Test

  Compute the two-sided Fisher exact p-value for a 2×2 contingency table with fixed margins. Tables above 10,000 total observations are rejected to bound exact enumeration.
