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.
