• Description:
  The relative risk function is defined as the ratio of two probability density functions, usually cases to controls, at a fixed point. The nonparametric k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) approach is used for the density estimation. The kNN relative risk estimator at a fixed location is shown to be asymptotically consistent. An application of the kNN relative risk estimator to injury surveillance is discussed. [Description provided by NIOSH]
