This paper presents produrea for the analysis of the odds ratio and log odds ratio for a 2×C contingency table. The proposed procedurea provide a more unified approach to study of the trend of the odds ratio as a measure of association between a risk indioator and an “outcome” variable than traditional form of analyeis. The methodology is illustrated with an example from the epidemiologic literature.
