Abstract
We develop a new Bayesian approach to interval estimation for both the risk difference and the risk ratio for a 2 x 2 table with a structural zero using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. We also derive a normal approximation for the risk difference and a gamma approximation for the risk ratio. We then compare the coverage and interval width of our new intervals to the score-based intervals over various parameter and sample-size configurations. Finally, we consider a Bayesian method for sample-size determination.
