A Bayesian framework for the ratio of two Poisson rates in the context of vaccine efficacy trials

Description : In many applications, we assume that two random observations x and y are generated according to independent Poisson distributions and we are interested in performing statistical inference on the ratio of the two incidence rates, called the relative risk in vaccine efficacy trials, in which context ...
