Bayesian Latent Class Models in malaria diagnosis.
AIMS: The main focus of this study is to illustrate the importance of the statistical analysis in the evaluation of the accuracy of malaria diagnostic tests, without admitting a reference test, exploring a dataset (n=3317) collected in São Tomé and Príncipe. METHODS: Bayesian Latent Class Models (wi...
