Knowing the efficacy of a diagnostic tool, whether it is a test used alone, a sequence of several tests or a group of clinical criteria, is essential to study and choose decision strategies. The validation of diagnostic and screening tests is thus necessary to conceive decision schemes. When a gold standard is available, the characteristics of a test can be estimated directly. However, the true individual disease status of the animals is often unknown, particularly in absence of a gold standard or when the gold standard cannot be used because of economical, practical or ethical constraints. In these cases, specific statistical methods like latent class models implemented through a Bayesian approach must be used. Our work aimed at estimating...
