Abstract :
Relative risk plays an important role in identifying and assessing diseases in the case-control association study, but the homogeneity and heterogeneity of the RR is often ignored in M stratum 2*2 tables and cohort (2*k tables) studies. This paper proposes a hypothesis test for homogeneity and heterogeneity of the RR based on the M-H methods.
