  In our running J. Doe example, LR(H, E) is obtained by comparing the predictability of senior status given that J.  Doe died in 2000 to its predictability given that he or she lived out the year.  Dividing the former "prediction term" by the latter yields LR(H, E) = PH(E)/P~H(E) = 0.57/0.056 = 10.12.  Thus, as a predictor of senior status in 2000, knowing that J. Doe died is more than ten times better than knowing that he or she lived.
