In the last decades, use of epidemiological prevalence ratio (PR) instead odds has been debated as a measure association in cross-sectional studies. This article addresses main difficulties statistical models for calculation PR: convergence problems, availability tools and inappropriate assumptions. We implement direct approach to estimate PR from binary regression based on two methods proposed by Wilcosky & Chambless compare with different methods. used three examples compared crude...
