Abstract: Confidence interval for the ratio of two independent binomial proportions is an important measure, especially in medicine. The relative risk is such an example where accurate interval estimation is crucial. In this work we compare 4 different methods for the construction of such intervals. Simulation studies using many combinations of the sample sizes and of the true proportions reveal interesting conclusions as to the suitability of either method.
