Exact Posterior distribution of risk ratio in the Kumaraswamy–Binomial model by Andrade, Jose A. A., Rathie, Pushpa

“…In categorical data analysis, the $2\times 2$ contingency tables are commonly used to assess the association between groups and responses, this is achieved by using some measures of association, such as the contingency coefficient, odds ratio, risk relative, etc. In a Bayesian approach, the risk ratio is modeled according to a Beta-Binomial model, which has exact posterior distribution, due to the conjugacy property of the model. …”
