Likelihood ratios come in two types: positive likelihood ratio (LR+) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-).
- Positive Likelihood Ratio (LR+): This indicates how much more likely a positive test result is to be found in someone with the condition compared to someone without it. - Negative Likelihood Ratio (LR-): This shows how much less likely a negative test result is to be found in someone with the condition compared to someone without it.
