Dear Nick, Leonelo nd Jean:
Thank you very much for your contributions. They helped very much my
understanding. As a matter of fact, the commentaires strenghtned my position
against the translation "raz�o (ratio) de (of) _chances_" for odds ratio,
since chance is not used as odds., neither in English nor in French.
Cheers,
Jos� Maria
