\title{Difference between twins}
\description{
A reference class to represent difference between twin1 and twin2
}
\details{
Difft are calculated depending on the favorable outcome chosen. It is the 
second level of the outcome. For example, if the outcome is 0 and 1, the 
favorable outcome is 1. Then, \deqn{difft_i = twin1_i - twin2_i if T_i = 1}
\deqn{ difft_i = twin2_i - twin1_i if T_i = 0}.
So \emph{absolute} method is :
\deqn{P(Y = 1 | T = 1) - P(Y = 1 | T =0)}
So \emph{relative} method is :
\deqn{P(Y = 1 | T = 1)/P(Y = 1 | T =0)}
So \emph{absolute} method is :
\deqn{logit(P(Y = 1 | T = 1)) - logit(P(Y = 1 | T =0))}
}
