Distributional estimates for the comparison of proportions of a dichotomized continuous outcome

We present the package distdicho, which contains a range of commands covering the present development of the distributional method for the dichotomization of continuous outcomes. The method provides estimates with standard error of a comparison of proportions (difference, odds ratio, and risk ratio) derived, with similar precision, from a comparison of means.

本文介绍了distdicho软件包，该软件包包含一系列命令，覆盖了连续型结局变量二分类所用分布法的当前研究进展。该方法可通过均数比较推导得到比例比较（包括差值、比值比（odds ratio）及相对危险度（risk ratio））的估计值及其标准误，且所得估计值的精度与直接基于二分类数据进行比例比较的结果精度相当。
