Expected length given coverage for 95% confidence intervals of the ESR S , ESR R using a log-based variance, and ESR R using a binomial variance in Scenario 3. Empirical 95% confidence intervals are also shown. The analysis assumed an exposure probability of .20 and risk of disease in the unexposed of .02. The x-axis is the magnitude of the RR. Results are from simulations where both N1 and N2 are 5,000.
