**Problem statement:** For binary outcome data, the relative risk (RR) is an essential measure of association, which can be estimated directly for prospective studies. Calculating the odds ratio (OR) can overestimate and magnify the risk heavily, especially if dealing with a disease outcome of high incidence. In such cases OR should be avoided and RR can be used. The log-binomial model is a straightforward statistical approach in the case of risk adjustment and estimation, also it is much easier to interpret. However, the log-binomial model might fail or have difficulties maximizing log-likelihood function due to numerical instability, implicit parameter constraints, or naïve starting value, which leads to a dramatic increase of the requir...
