The Geometry of Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for composite hypothesis testing problems is studied from a geometric perspective. An information-geometrical interpretation of the GLRT is proposed based on the geometry of curved exponential families.

Computer assisted diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using statistical likelihood-ratio test. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The purpose of this work is to present a computer assisted diagnostic tool for radiologists in their diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. A statistical likelihood-ratio procedure from signal detection theory was implemented in the detection of Alzheimer's ...

The Laplace Likelihood Ratio Test for Heteroscedasticity [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2011 It is shown that the likelihood ratio test for heteroscedasticity, assuming the Laplace distribution, gives good results for Gaussian and fat-tailed data.

A likelihood ratio test for changes in homeolog expression bias [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2019 Background Gene duplications are a major source of raw material for evolution and a likely contributor to the diversity of life on earth. Duplicate genes (i.e., homeologs, in the case of a whole genome duplication) may retain their ancestral function ...

Likelihood Ratio Test and the Evidential Approach for 2 × 2 Tables [PDF]
EntropyCategorical data analysis of 2 × 2 contingency tables is extremely common, not least because they provide risk difference, risk ratio, odds ratio, and log odds statistics in medical research.

Likelihood-ratio test statistic for the finite-sample case in nonlinear ordinary differential equation models. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Likelihood ratios are frequently utilized as basis for statistical tests, for model selection criteria and for assessing parameter and prediction uncertainties, e.g. using the profile likelihood. However, translating these likelihood ratios into p-values

A likelihood ratio test for nested proportions. [PDF]
Stat Med, 2015 For policy and medical issues, it is important to know if the proportion of an event changes after an intervention is administered. When the later proportion can only be calculated in a portion of the sample used to compute the previous proportion, the two proportions are nested.

Likelihood Ratio Test for Excess Homozygosity at Marker Loci on X Chromosome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is generally required for association analysis using case-control design on autosomes; otherwise, the size may be inflated.
