Description

Mitigated fraction comparing treatment to control.

Usage

Arguments

formula	Formula of the form y ~ x, where y is a continuous response and x is a factor with two levels
data	Data frame

Details

The mitigated fraction is an estimator that quantifies an intervention's effect on reducing the severity of a condition. Since its units are on the probability scale, it is often a good idea to accompany it with an estimator on the original scale of measurement.

Value

The estimated mitigated fraction.
