The use of the binomial distribution for the numerator and the negative binomial for the denominator in prospective studies leads to an unbiased estimate of relative risk and an unbiased estimate for combining experiments. Optimal sample sizes for groups are calculated and confidence intervals for t

## Publio He& h 'The negative binomial distribution (N.B.) was previously proposed ( B E N N E ~, 1981) in the estimation of and testa of significance for the relative risk ( y ) in proepective studies in epidemiology. This paper discusses the application of the N.B. model in combining estimates o
## Abstract The relative recurrence risk ratio ฮป~__R__~ (and particularly the sibling recurrence risk ratio, ฮป~__S__~ ) is often of interest to those wanting to quantify the genetic contribution towards risk of disease or to discriminate between different genetic models. However, estimating ฮป~__R__
