Odds Ratio
Captions available
The idea
An odds ratio divides the odds in one group by the odds in the other, giving another estimate of the strength of association between an exposure and an outcome.
In practice
Odds in one group set against odds in the other.
Where people slip
An odds ratio estimates association. This unit's rule stands: association is not cause.
