In epidemiology and biostatistics, the experimental event rate is a measure of how often a particular statistical event occurs within the experimental 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.
