I try to use proc logistic regression to estimate the probability difference between placebo and treatment group. It gives me odds ratio difference, how can I change to risk difference?   

Also any difference between "risk difference" or "proportional difference"  or "probability difference" between proc freq and proc logistic? 

Thanks,

Better post it at Statistical Forum ,since it is about stat . @StatDave  @Rick_SAS  is there .

 

If your data is contingency table , like

           placebo   treatment

good    12           23

bad      2              3

 

you could try

 

PROC FREQ;

table group*good_bad / riskdiff ;

run;

 

"risk difference" is for   12/(23+12)  V.S.  2/(2+3)   or  23/(23+12)  V.S.  3/(2+3) 

 

"proportional difference"(a.k.a  odds ratio) is for 12/23  V.S.  2/3
