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.
