TotalRiskRatios: Calculate Risk Ratios for total effects
In PathSelectMP: Backwards Variable Selection for Paths using M Plus

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

Risk Ratios for the total effects are calculated using threshold values obtained for direct effects and the total effect values see in AllTotalEffOutput

1	TotalRiskRatios(AllDat, Directry = getwd(), InputDepVal = 1)

`AllDat`	output from `ConvertData2`
`Directry`	this the path where the folder specified by `AllNames` is located and default is working directory
`InputDepVal`	a number which is the value of the dependent variable used for risk ratio which is compared to 0 in risk ratio calculation, default value is 1

total effects are sum of direct and indirect effects where indirect effects are the product of all direct effects in the chain which comprises the indirect variable chain, this total effect value is converted to its probability using the threshold values for direct effects and multiplying the total effect with the specified input value

returns data frame with risk ratios in place of total effects

of course backwards selection and other functions must run first, see example
