The following formula is used for calculating false positive rate (FPR):

                               false positives       
False positive rate   =   _________________________
                               total negatives

The following formula is used for calculating true positive rate (TPR):

                             True positives      
True positive rate   =   ______________________
                              All positives

The following formula is used for calculating average odds difference:

                             (FPR monitored group - FPR reference group) + (TPR monitored group - TPR reference group)       
Average odds difference  =   ___________________________________________________________________________________________
