Relative risk bounds from rounded group compositions

ID: relative-risk-bounds-from-rounded-group-compositions

Suppose and . The formula for relative risk from group compositions increases with and decreases with , since increases and decreases. This monotonicity proves the displayed bounds. If percentages are rounded to the nearest whole percentage point, each corresponding proportion lies within of its displayed value. These bounds describe rounding uncertainty; they are not a confidence interval for sampling uncertainty.
