The last couple of days I made some additions to make it also useful to mathematical statisticians but still the basic presentation needs a lot of work, I think. Odds ratio, odds, Bayes' theorem, conditional probability are all very closely related, and are central topics in medical statistics and epidemiology, applied statistics in general, mathematical statistics, and theoretical probability.
