Meta‐analysis of dichotomous and ordinal tests with an imperfect gold standard [PDF]
Research Synthesis Methods, 2022 AbstractStandard methods for the meta‐analysis of medical tests, without assuming a gold standard, are limited to dichotomous data. Multivariate probit models are used to analyse correlated dichotomous data, and can be extended to model ordinal data. Within the context of an imperfect gold standard, they have previously been used for the analysis of ...
