Optimal classification and generalized prevalence estimates for diagnostic settings with more than two classes [PDF]
, 2022 An accurate multiclass classification strategy is crucial to interpreting antibody tests. However, traditional methods based on confidence intervals or receiver operating characteristics lack clear extensions to settings with more than two classes. We address this problem by developing a multiclass classification based on probabilistic modeling and ...
