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
## Abstract The use of the negative binomial distribution in both the numerator and denominator in prospective studies leads to an unbiased estimate of the odds ratio and an exact expression for its variance. Sample sizes that minimize the variance of odds ratio estimates are specified. The varianc
