Abstract
The classical confidence interval approach has failed to find exact intervals, or even a consensus on the best approximate intervals, for the ratio of two binomial probabilities, the so-called risk ratio.The problem is reexamined from a Bayesian viewpoint, and a simple graphical presentation of the risk ratio assessment is given in such a way that sensitivity to the selected prior distribution can be readily examined.
