Hi all, I am very grateful to all those who write to me 1) how i can obtain relative risk (risk ratio) in logistic regression in R. 2) how to obtain the predicted risk for a certain individual using fitted regression model in R.
You obtain the predicted probabilities with something like: predict(model, data.frame(x1="a", x2=30), type = "response") See ?predict.glm This would give the odds ratios (similar but larger than the risk ratios): exp(coef(model))
