Both above and below are familiar to recent threads related to the
analysis of proportions. I'm only bringing this up again as I have the
impression most pharmacologists near me overuse ratios. I guess what
bothers me is that using the ratio assumes a particular model, but I do
not think this is appreciated.

The preference for expressing effects in ratios I think just comes historically
from the nature of the phenomena that pharmacologists study.
In any event, I wrote a package for Fieller's method (uncorrelated data) and
sent it to Kit Baum yesterday. Unless there's a problem with it, he should
have it posted to SSC in the near future.
