Likelihood Ratio
A quantity used to test Nested Hypotheses. Let 
be a Nested Hypothesis with 
Degrees of Freedom within 
(which has 
Degrees of Freedom), then calculate the Maximum Likelihood of a given outcome, first given, then given . Then
Comparison of this ratio to the critical value of the Chi-Squared Distribution with
Degrees of Freedom then gives the Significance of the increase inLikelihood.The term likelihood ratio is also used (especially in medicine) to test nonnested complementary hypotheses as follows,
