View source: R/logisticRR.R

When response variable is binary and exposure variable is binary or continuous, this function derives adjusted relative risks conditional on fixed other confounders' value from logistic regression.

1 2	logisticRR(formula, basecov = 0, fixcov = NULL, data, boot = FALSE, n.boot = 100)

`formula`	a formula term that is passed into `glm()` having a form of `response ~ terms` where `response` is binary response vector and `terms` is a collection of terms connected by `'+'`. The first term of predictors will be used as a predictor of interest to calculate relative risks with respect to response variable.
`basecov`	a baseline value of exposure variable. Defaults to `0`.
`fixcov`	a data frame of fixed value for each of adjusted confounders. If there is no confounder other than an exposure variable of interest, `fixcov` = `NULL`; if `fixcov` is missing for covariates, they are all set to `0` (for numerical covariates) or first levels (for factor covariates).
`data`	a data frame containing response variable and all the terms used in `formula`.
`boot`	a logical value whether bootstrap samples are generated or not. Defaults to `FALSE`.
`n.boot`	if `boot = TRUE`, the number of bootstrap samples. Defaults to `100`.

`fit`	an object of class `glm`.
`RR`	(conditional) relative risk in response under exposure at baseline (`basecov`) and `basecov + 1`.
`delta.var`	estimated variance of relative risk (`RR`) using Delta method.
`boot.rr`	if `boot = TRUE`, a vector of `RR`'s using bootstrap samples.
`boot.var`	estimated sampled variance using bootstraps if `boot = TRUE`.
`fix.cov`	a data frame of fixed value for each of adjsuted confounders.
