Helper functions needed for Julia

There are some really nice packages in R that need Julia ports. I really have been enjoying using Julia but it reminds me of Base R when I first started using it (e.g., pre-tidyverse). The easystats suite looks really nice and ripe for a port:

Like converting between odds ratios

oddsratio_to_riskratio.numeric <- function(OR, p0, log = FALSE, ...) {
  if (log) OR <- exp(OR)

  RR <- OR / (1 - p0 + (p0 * OR))

  if (log) RR <- log(RR)
  return(RR)
}

Could be

function oddsratio_to_riskratio(OR, p0, log = false)

  if log
    OR = exp(OR)
  end

  RR = OR / (1 - p0 + (p0 * OR))

  if log
    RR = log(RR)
  end

  return RR
end
