Abstract
We so often use the term ‘risk’ of an event in both common language and technical articles that its meaning in any given context can be vague and misunderstood. The issue becomes even more complicated when we compare risks across groups or contrast different conditions for a single group, in part because there are multiple ways of quantifying the difference—or lack thereof—between two risks.
