	The delta method was invented by [[Kite Giedraitis]] in 2022. The ratio approximations rely on the formula log [(a+b)/(c+d)] ≈ [a/(a+b)] * log [a/c] + [b/(a+b)] * log [b/d], where ad - bc = ±1		The delta method was invented by [[Kite Giedraitis]] in 2022. The ratio approximations for a/b and c/d rely on the formula log [(a+c)/(b+d)] ≈ [a/(a+c)] * log [a/b] + [c/(a+c)] * log [c/d], where ad - bc = ±1. There may be a better formula.
