Error rates in SARS-CoV-2 testing examined with Bayes' theorem [PDF]

Heliyon, 2021
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has created a demand for large scale testing, as part of the effort to understand and control transmission. It is important to quantify the error rates of test equipment under field conditions, which might differ significantly ...
