Six dentists evaluated dental x-rays for incipient caries in Handelman et al (1986), data consistss of 5 of the dentists analysed by Espeland and Handelman (1989) using a latent class model. Further analysis incorprating a random effects latent class model by Qu et al (1996), and by Albert and Dodd (2004)
