A common problem in formulating models for the relative risk and risk difference is the variation dependence between these parameters and the baseline risk, which is a nuisance model. We address this problem by proposing the conditional log odds-product as a preferred nuisance model. This novel nuisance model facilitates maximum-likelihood estimation, but also permits doubly-robust estimation for the parameters of interest. Our approach is illustrated via simulations and a data analysis. An R package brm implementing the proposed methods is available on CRAN. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
