Confidence intervals for parameters of two diagnostic tests in the absence of a gold standard
We derive a profile-likelihood confidence interval and a score based confidence interval to estimate the population prevalences, test sensitivities, and test specificities of two conditionally independent diagnostic tests when no gold standard is available. We are motivated by a real-data example on the study of the properties for two fallible diagnostic tests for bovine immunodeficiency virus....
متن کاملDetection of Echinococcus multilocularis by MC-PCR: evaluation of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity without gold standard
INTRODUCTION A semi-automated magnetic capture probe-based DNA extraction and real-time PCR method (MC-PCR), allowing for a more efficient large-scale surveillance of Echinococcus multilocularis occurrence, has been developed. The test sensitivity has previously been evaluated using the sedimentation and counting technique (SCT) as a gold standard. However, as the sensitivity of the SCT is not ...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for the Sensitivity of a Continuous-Scale Diagnostic Test
Diagnostic testing is essential to distinguish non-diseased individuals from diseased individuals. More accurate tests lead to improved treatment and thus reduce medical mistakes. The sensitivity and specificity are two important measurements for the diagnostic accuracy of a diagnostic test. When the test results are continuous, it is of interest to construct a confidence interval for the sensi...

انتخاب نامساعد یکی از مشکلات اساسی در صنعت بیمه است. که ابتدا در سال 1960، توسط روتشیلد واستیگلیتز مورد بحث ومطالعه قرار گرفت ازآن موقع تاکنون بسیاری از پژوهشگران مدل های مختلفی را برای تجزیه و تحلیل تقاضا برای صنعت بیمه عمر که تماما ناشی از عدم قطعیت در این صنعت میباشد انجام داده اند .وهدف از آن پیدا کردن شرایطی است که تحت آن شرایط انتخاب یا کنار گذاشتن یک بیمه گزار به نفع و یا زیان شرکت بیمه ...

Histologic tumor grade is a strong predictor of risk of recurrence in breast cancer. Nevertheless, tumor grade readings by pathologists are susceptible to intraand inter-observer variability due to its subject nature. Because of this limitation, histologic tumor grade is not included in the breast cancer stating system. Latent class models have been considered for analysis of such discrete diag...
