Drop the Likelihood Ratio

Objective: To present a geometric ruler to determine predictive values of binary diagnostic test results from prevalence, sensitivity and specificity without calculation. Methods: On logarithmic scale the relationships between pre-/post-test odds and the likelihood ratio as well as sensitivity, speci ficity and the likelihood ratio appear as simple linear (additive) equations. Results: Each of ...
