The impact of bias due to exponentiation in the estimation of hazard, risk, and odds ratios: an empirical investigation from 1,495,059 effect sizes from MEDLINE/PubMed abstracts
Abstract Background Parameter estimation using regression methods plays a vital role in medical research.Often a non-linear transformation of a regression parameter is preferred for its more intuitive interpretation.Important examples in medical research are odds ratios, risk ratios, and hazard ratios, which are obtained by exponentiating the estim
