Why is it important?
Behavioral science deals with the interaction and behavior of human beings. It helps us to understand the factors related to psychology or behavior in different case studies. The odds ratio is frequently used in the case-control study, which compares two groups of people in which one group has the disease, and the second group does not have a disease.
Perspectives
This article was a different exposure for me in the field of mathematical science. It will also help to use this concept to understand the statistical view in Epidemiology. This article will help reader to develop understanding on concept of Odds Ratio.
