Options for calculating overlap probability πXC.

Case
πXC calculated as
Comment

1
πC·πX
C and X are independent
2
πC|X·πX
C and X interact and πC|X or πX|C is known.
3
πX|C·πC

4
πC·πX / [πC + (1 - πC) / RRX|C]
C and X are dependent and the relative risk RRX|C or RRC|X is known.
5
πX·πC / [πX + (1 - πX) / RRC|X]
X (C) either potentiates, or protects from, C (X).
6
πX·πC·k
