Likelihood Ratio Formula


Equation for calculate likelihood ratio is,

LR+ = (a/(a+c)) / (b/(b+d))
LR = (c/(a+c)) / (d/(b+d))

where,
T+ = result of the test is positive,
T = result of the test is negative,
D+ = present disease,
D = absent present,
LR+ = Positive likelihood ratio,
LR = Negative likelihood ratio
