Relative risk is used in the statistical analysis of the data of ecological, cohort, medical and intervention studies, to estimate the strength of the association between exposures (treatments or risk factors) and outcomes. [2] Mathematically, it is the incidence rate of the outcome in the exposed group, , divided by the rate of the unexposed ...
A set of consistent rules (or weights) that assign a numerical value ("points") to each risk factor that reflect our estimation of underlying risk. A formula (typically a simple sum of all accumulated points) that calculates the score. A set of thresholds that helps to translate the calculated score into a level of risk, or an equivalent ...
The Framingham Risk Score is a sex-specific algorithm used to estimate the 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual. The Framingham Risk Score was first developed based on data obtained from the Framingham Heart Study, to estimate the 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease. [1] In order to assess the 10-year cardiovascular ...
The y-axis shows the observed risk amounts, where the x-axis shows the groups separating in risk as they age—corresponding with the predicted risk scores. In genetics, a polygenic score (PGS) is a number that summarizes the estimated effect of many genetic variants on an individual's phenotype. The PGS is also called the polygenic index (PGI ...
The risk difference (RD), excess risk, or attributable risk[1] is the difference between the risk of an outcome in the exposed group and the unexposed group. It is computed as , where is the incidence in the exposed group, and is the incidence in the unexposed group. If the risk of an outcome is increased by the exposure, the term absolute risk ...
In financial mathematics, a risk measure is used to determine the amount of an asset or set of assets (traditionally currency) to be kept in reserve. The purpose of this reserve is to make the risks taken by financial institutions, such as banks and insurance companies, acceptable to the regulator. In recent years attention has turned to convex ...
Risk premium. A risk premium is a measure of excess return that is required by an individual to compensate being subjected to an increased level of risk. [1] It is used widely in finance and economics, the general definition being the expected risky return less the risk-free return, as demonstrated by the formula below.
The fund gives exposure to 100 emerging market stocks that pass stability screens and offer the highest risk-adjusted dividend yield. The index is weighted based on the stocks’ trailing-12-month ...
