Summary
The aim of this appendix is to derive the probability functions for the hypergeometric and conditional Poisson distributions, and to derive variance estimates for the log-odds ratio and log-hazard ratio.
The section headings of the appendix are as follows:
Hypergeometric Distribution
Conditional Poisson Distribution
Hypergeometric Variance Estimate
Conditional Poisson Variance Estimate
