Title: Modeling Choices for Measuring the Quality of Tests without a "Gold Standard": Covid 19 and Future Pandemics

Abstract: Giving multiple tests to the same individuals is a way to overcome the absence of a "gold standard" test known to be accurate. This talk explores choices for modelling assumptions aimed at pandemics: the presence of many tests, and the possibility of thousands of patients. Thus the methods proposed must be computationally feasible in such an environment.
