[LCMATE] Webinar on the evaluation of COVID-19 diagnostics with BLCMs

[Polychronis Kostoulas]

Dear All,

we recently estimated the diagnostic accuracy of RT-PCR and Lateral flow immunoassay tests (LFIA) for COVID-19, depending on the time post symptom onset.  We did so with Bayesian latent class models (BLCMs), which do not require a reference standard.
The pre-print can be found here: https://dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-33243/v1

This work will be explained in a webinar we give on Monday, 29 June (16:00 CET). The program is:

  1.  Introduction to BLCMs
Polychronis Kostoulas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/polychronis-kostoulas-50257461/)
  2.  Implementation in R/JAGS
Paolo Eusebi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/paoloeusebi/)
  3.  Interpretation of results from the COVID-19 study
Sonja Hartnack (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonja-hartnack-36b5248a/)

We would be happy if you can join. Save the date and follow the invitation below. You can also download the attached iCalendar file.

Kind regards,
Sonja, Paolo and Polychronis
