Alternative forms[edit]

Noun[edit]

lod (plural lods)

  1. (statistics) Initialism of logarithm of odds. A measure of likelihood calculated by taking the log of the ratio of the probability of a hypothesis being true given the observed data over the probability that the hypothesis is false.
    • 1999, Jurg Ott, Analysis of Human Genetic Linkage, →ISBN, page 66:
      Some computer programs furnish p-values rather than maximum lod scores.
    • 2001, Anatoly Ruvinsky, J. Sampson, The Genetics of the Dog, →ISBN, page 336:
      Markers were analysed in decreasing order of informativeness; a marker was only added to the map when it could be localized to a unique interval with a lod score of >= 3.0.
    • 2004, T. Strachan, Andrew P. Read, Human Molecular Genetics 3, →ISBN, page 406:
      Note that only recombinantion fractions between 0 and 0.5 are meaningful, and that all lod scores are zero at (theta)=0.5 (because they are then measuring the ratio of two identical probabilities, and log10(1)=0).
