Abstract

Likelihood ratios compare two values (i.e., case rates) in order to illustrate the magnitude of the difference between the two. This ratio increases the confidence one can have in a diagnostic test from a different vantage point than that of sensitivity and specificity. The calculations of likelihood ratios are presented along with a simplified approach. Likelihood ratios are another tool the toxicologist should employ in their understanding of statistics and probability.

毒理学家的生物统计学和流行病学:似然比。
似然比对两个值(即病例率)进行比较,以说明两者之间的差异程度。与灵敏度和特异性相比,似然比从不同的角度增加了人们对诊断测试的信心。本文介绍了似然比的计算方法和简化方法。似然比是毒理学家了解统计学和概率论的另一个工具。
