Worked Example: Worked Mathematical Example: Odds Ratio, RR & Chi-Square
Compute Odds Ratio (95% CI), Relative Risk (RR), Pearson χ², and Cramér’s V / φ from a 2×2 table.
- Specify the function parameters, matrix entries, or confusion matrix counts.
- Apply the closed-form or iterative formula: OR = (a·d) / (b·c); SE(ln OR) = √(1/a + 1/b + 1/c + 1/d); RR = [a/(a+b)] / [c/(c+d)]; φ = √(χ² / N).
- Examine the primary result, error bounds, and 3 interactive SVG plots.
Result: Computes Odds Ratio, RR & Chi-Square via OR = (a·d) / (b·c); SE(ln OR) = √(1/a + 1/b + 1/c + 1/d); RR = [a/(a+b)] / [c/(c+d)]; φ = √(χ² / N).

2×2 Contingency Table Odds Ratio (OR), Relative Risk (RR), Chi-Square & Phi (φ) Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Compute Odds Ratio (95% CI), Relative Risk (RR), Pearson χ², and Cramér’s V / φ from a 2×2 table.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Exposed Cases A: Exposed with outcome present (cell a).
- Exposed Controls B: Exposed with outcome absent (cell b).
- Unexposed Cases C: Unexposed with outcome present (cell c).
- Unexposed Controls D: Unexposed with outcome absent (cell d).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Exposure Odds Ratio (OR) is 2.563 95% CI: 1.33–4.93. The calculation follows Odds Ratio, RR & Chi-Square Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Exposed Cases A from 36 cell a to 40 cell a changes Exposure Odds Ratio (OR) from 2.563 95% CI: 1.33–4.93 to 2.847 95% CI: 1.49–5.43. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses exact analytical or standard numerical analysis formulations from NIST DLMF.
- Double-precision floating-point arithmetic has ~15–17 significant decimal digits of precision.
Scope: Global Mathematical & Statistical Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
