Can you be clearer? Log likelihood ratios do add up, so long as the independence criterion is satisfied (ie so long as P(E_2|H_x) = P(E_2|E_1,H_x) for each H_x).
As long as there are only two H_x, mind you. They no longer add up when you have three hypotheses or more.
Indeed - though I find it very hard to hang on to my intuitive grasp of this!
Don't worry, I have an information theory post coming up that will fix all of this :)
