likelihood ratio

likelihood ratio
1. an index of diagnostic marker tests, the odds of a disease given a specified test value relative to the odds of the disease in the study population. It can be calculated for either a positive or a negative test, the former (LR+) being the ratio of the sensitivity to the false-positive error rate and the latter (LR−) being the ratio of the false-negative error rate to the specificity. Depending on how it is written, it can be viewed either as a risk ratio or an odds ratio. 2. see under test.
