Optimizing prevalence estimates for a novel pathogen by reducing uncertainty in test characteristics
Emergence of a novel pathogen drives the urgent need for diagnostic tests that can aid in defining disease prevalence. The limitations associated with rapid development and deployment of these tests result in a dilemma: In efforts to optimize prevalence estimates, would tests be better used in the l...
