A Experimental Event Rate is the proportion of patients responding to the experimental treatment or intervention.
- AKA: EER.
- Example(s)
- If in a experimental group with 25 patients the event being studied is observed in 22 of those patients, then the EER= 22/25 = 0.88.

- In epidemiology and biostatistics, the experimental event rate (EER) is a measure of how often a particular statistical event (such as response to a drug, adverse event or death) occurs within the experimental group (non-control group) of an experiment.
This value is very useful in determining the therapeutic benefit or risk to patients in experimental groups, in comparison to patients in placebo or traditionally treated control groups.
Three statistical terms rely on EER for their calculation: absolute risk reduction, relative risk reduction and number needed to treat.
