- Abstract
Situations are encountered that gold standard doesn’t exist and two or more imprecise reference tests are available in the diagnosis of a specific disease clinically. There are three basic approaches including Discrepant Resolution (DR), Composite Reference Standard (CRS) and Latent Class model (LCA) in literature for assessing the performance of diagnostic tests. This study is aimed to evaluate the three basic approaches. LCA has a more complex structure than DR and CRS approach. LCA is more advantageous than CRS and DR methods without any assumptions about resolver test or other imperfect reference tests specify. As a result, LCA methods which are developed for assessing the performance of new diagnostic test and reducing the bias because of imperfect reference tests give more reliable results than other methods.
