likehood ratio

Decision making The frequency that a test result is positive in subjects with–as opposed to without–a disease of interest; LR is a method for evaluating the informational properties of a nonbinary test Screening The relative odds that a given test result is expected in a Pt with–vs without–a disease of interest. Cf ROC curve.
