The log-odds ratio, lor sub s and a, is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of two quantities. The numerator of the ratio is Pi 2 sub s and a, divided by 1 minus Pi 2 sub s and a. The denominator of the ratio is Pi 1 sub s and a, divided by 1 minus Pi 1 sub s and a.

The estimate of the log-odds ratio, lor hat, sub s and a, is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of two quantities. The numerator of the ratio is p 2 sub s and a, divided by 1 minus p 2 sub s and a. The denominator of the ratio is p 1 sub s and a, divided by 1 minus p 1 sub s and a, where p 1 sub s and a are the 2003-2004 State estimates and p 2 sub s and a are the 2004-2005 State estimates.

Click here to return to Equation A-3

Variance v of the estimate of the log-odds ratio, lor hat, sub s and a, is a function of three quantities, q1, q2, and q3. It is expressed as the sum of q1 and q2 minus q3. q1 is the variance of the logarithm of Theta 1 hat, q2 is the variance of the logarithm of Theta 2 hat, and q3 is 2 times the covariance between the logarithm of Theta 1 hat and the logarithm of Theta 2 hat.

Click here to return to Equation A-8

The covariance between the logarithm of Theta 1 hat and the logarithm of Theta 2 hat is equal to the correlation between the logarithm of Theta 1 hat and the logarithm of Theta 2 hat multiplied by the square root of the product of the variance of the logarithm of Theta 1 hat and variance of the logarithm of Theta 2 hat.
