No Gold Standard Diagnostic Test Data

Description

A simulated dataset for evaluating diagnostic tests in the absence of a perfect gold standard. It includes results from multiple imperfect tests and, for simulation purposes, a 'true' disease status.

Usage

data(nogold_standard)

Format

A data frame with 200 rows and 6 variables:

caseID

Integer. Unique identifier for each case or patient.

disease

Character. The true underlying disease status (e.g., "Present", "Absent"). In real "no gold standard" scenarios, this would be unknown and estimated.

test1

Character. Result of the first diagnostic test (e.g., "pos", "neg", or "Positive", "Negative").

test2

Character. Result of the second diagnostic test.

test3

Character. Result of the third diagnostic test.

test4

Character. Result of the fourth diagnostic test.

Examples

data(nogold_standard)
str(nogold_standard)
head(nogold_standard)
table(nogold_standard$test1, nogold_standard$test2)
