Discrimination Based on an Odds Ratio Parameterization

It is argued that the association of any two random elements with positive joint probability density function is characterized by its odds ratio function. The impact of this fundamental result is explored in two applications. In Bayesian analyses it is the association between an observable random variable and a random parameter that is of primary interest. In multivariate analysis it is the ass...

An Odds Ratio Based Inference Engine

Expert systems applications that involve uncertain inference can be represented by a multidimensional contingency table. These tables offer a general approach to inferring with uncertain evidence, because they can embody any form of association between any number of pieces of evidence and conclusions. (Simpler models may be required, however, if the number of pieces of evidence bearing on a con...

But since such perception is mostly correct, there is nothing (or almost nothing) wrong with that. It is nevertheless useful to be reminded now and then what is the relation between the rel...
