Partners follow a progressive set of steps, each with visible markers, toward a clear goal. The goal at the top of the escalator is to achieve a permanently monogamous(sexually and romantically exclusive between two people), cohabiting marriage — legally sanctioned if possible. In many cases, buying a house and having kids is also part of the goal. Partners are expected to remain together at the top of the escalator until death. The escalator is the standard by which most people gauge whether a developing intimate relationship is significant, "serious, "good, healthy, committed or worth pursuing or continuing. 1, record 2, English, - relationship%20escalator

The odds ratio is the estimate of relative risk used in a type of study(case-control) in which it is impossible to calculate relative risk directly. It is a good estimate of relative risk in cases in which the disease is rare. Thus, if the results of a trial are that the probability of death is 25% in the control group and 10% in the experimental group, the odds ratio of survival is 0. 10 ÷(1. 0-0. 10) ÷(0. 25 ÷(1. 0-0. 25)=0. 33. 1, record 6, English, - odds%20ratio
