[LCMATE] CA18208 - Novel tools for test evaluation and disease prevalence estimation

[Polychronis Kostoulas]

Dear Colleagues,

The COST Action 18208 - Novel tools for test evaluation and disease prevalence estimation will start on October 25. We have a marvellous network of 30 EU countries and 6 international partners. But we are missing partners from Bulgaria, Moldova and Montenegro. If you are in these countries, working in biomedicine and you find this action of interest send an email to me.

An outline of the Action is here: https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA18208/#tabs|Name:overview

The main objective of this proposal is to coordinate and promote the implementation of Bayesian Latent Class Models (BLCMs) through networking and knowledge transfer between BLCM experts and researchers working in statistics, epidemiology, diagnostics and population health. So for those that haven't touched on these methods I have prepared an introductory video about how it all started back in 1980. Feel free to watch it here https://youtu.be/z6devQmW2xE

Kind regards,
Polychronis
