Repertory and likelihood ratio: time for structural changes

A L B Rutten et al. Homeopathy. 2004 Jul.

Abstract

If the likelihood ratio (LR) method is introduced, the repertory will gradually change as more symptoms are assessed. It will also change the use of the repertory: the most important medicines of each symptom rubric can be identified and relied on, even in large rubrics. This is also a good opportunity to correct structural shortcomings of the repertory, for instance, entries should be based on systematic analysis of materia medica instead of casual observations.
