I’ve searched and searched that article for an original explanation of those initials but it’s just not there. I wish this whole using initial thing would stop, I’m constantly looking up initialized things.

I just don’t know if Likelihood Ratio would be it? Maybe?

It’s a badly written article; they shouldn’t use abbreviations or acronyms without explaining them.

Before using initials a phrase is supposed to be spelled out to introduce the reader to the subject being discussed but that would require educating American students and we all know that education is the product of the white mans racism.

” I wish this whole using initial thing would stop”

YES! There are only 26 letters in our alphabet. It just isn’t enough for all the acronyms out there. More being born everyday.

Blame texting. LOL.
