DESCRIPTION:I will first review well-known differences between odds ratios
 \, relative risks and risk differences. These results motivate the develop
 ment of methods\, analogous to logistic regression\, for estimating the la
 tter two quantities. I will then describe simple parametrizations that fac
 ilitate maximum-likelihood estimation of the relative risk and risk-differ
 ence. Further\, these parametrizations allow for doubly-robust g-estimatio
 n of the relative risk and risk difference. \n(Joint work with James Robin
 s\, Harvard School of Public Health) \n\n\n
