Profile -likelihood CIs for risk ratios

Proportional Hazards Fit provides profile likelihood based confidence intervals for the Parameter Estimates. Please provide this type of CIs also for the Risk Ratios; this is important because the risk ratios are the usual measure of effect size in survival analysis.

@winfriedkoch0 thank you for this new feature idea.  We are evaluating this idea as a possible future improvement to JMP.

@winfriedkoch0 we have investigated this request, and I wanted to let you know that we do calculate and report Wald confidence intervals for risk ratios (hazard ratios) in Fit Proportional Hazards.  These confidence intervals use normal approximations for the confidence limits.  Does this meet your needs?

Based on additional communication, the Wald confidence intervals are sufficient to meet this need.  Thank you for your suggestion and continued engagement with JMP!
