odds ratio  

Definition

  • The odds ratio (OR) is a measure of association that is used to describe the relationship between two or more categorical (usually dichotomous) variables (e.g., in a contingency table) or between continuous variables and a categorical outcome variable (e.g., in logistic regression). The OR describes how much more likely an outcome is to occur in one group as compared to another group. [Source: Encyclopedia of Research Design; Odds Ratio]
