Scientific Reports Statistical Combination Schemes of Repeated Diagnostic Test Data1

Rationale and Objectives. When diagnostic tests are repeated and combined, a number of schemes may be adopted. Guidelines for their interpretations are required. Materials and Methods. Three combination schemes, “and” (A), “or” (O), and “majority” (M), are considered. To evaluate these schemes, dependency by specifying values quantifying repeated test agreement was structured. In a pilot study,...
