title: A note of relative risks.
abstract: In the study of disease correlations with specific antigens, the current expression for "relative risks" is computationally convenient. However, a more exact expression has been devised which is also more easily interpretable as the relative probability of contracting a disease for individuals carrying a specific antigen as compared to the probability for those not carrying that antigen.
