Estimating Risk and Rate Levels, Ratios, and Differences in Case-Control Studies1 Gary King2 Langche Zeng3 May 5, 2001 1We thank Sander Greenland for his generosity, insight, and wisdom about the epidemiological literature, Norm Breslow and Ken Rothman for many helpful explanations, and Chuck Manski for his suggestions, provocative econometric work, and other discussions.

Guzma?n, Bryan Langholz, Meghan Murray, Adrain Raferty, Ted Thomp- son, Jon Wakefield, Clarice Weinberg, David Williamson for helpful discussions, Ethan Katz for research assistance, and Mike Tomz for spotting an error in an earlier version.

Abstract Classic (or “cumulative”) case-control sampling designs do not admit inferences about quantities of interest other than risk ratios, and then only by making the rare events as- sumption. Probabilities, risk differences, and other quantities cannot be computed with- out knowledge of the population incidence fraction. Similarly, density (or “risk set”) case-control sampling designs do not allow inferences about quantities other than the rate ratio. Rates, rate differences, cumulative rates
