abstract = {The likelihood ratios of a binary diagnostic test are very widely used parameters to compare the effectiveness of two binary diagnostic tests, as they are technically equivalent to a relative risk. This Doctoral Thesis proposes new confidence intervals to compare the positive (negative) likelihood ratios of two binary diagnostic tests subject to  a  paired  design,  analysing  the  problem  both  from  a  frequentist  perspective  and  a Bayesian  one.  The  simulation  experiments  carried  out  to  compare  the  asymptotic behaviour of the confidence intervals have allowed us to give some general rules of application for the intervals studied. Furthermore, a method is proposed to calculate the sample size to compare the positive (negative) likelihood ratios of two binary diagnostic tests through a confidence interval.},
