## 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__
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
