How can you use “lrt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
There was a significant association with the highest tertile of WHR but the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for trend ( P = 0.07) was not significant.
This could be done through the use of the log-likelihood ratio test (LRT) to test for the null hypothesis H 0 : g = g 0 against the alternative H 1 : g = g 0 +1 for any given positive integer g 0 . The LRT statistic is 2 log L ( 0 +1) - 2 log L ( 0 ), which, however, does not have the usual asymptotically chi-squared distribution as a result of violation of required regularity conditions (for example, the maximum likelihood estimate may lie in the boundary of its parameter space).
McLachlan [ 26] proposed using the bootstrap to approximate the distribution of the LRT statistic under the null hypothesis.
In multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age and height, there was a significant association between the highest tertile of WHR and breast cancer risk (LRT P = 0.10; Table 6).
BMI = body mass index; LRT = likelihood ratio test; SHBG = sex hormone binding globulin; WHR = waist-hip ratio.
