Given multiple binary tests, such as repeated application of a blind screening test to each individual in a sample, we attemt to estimate the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of the test without knowing the true disease status of those tested (gold standard). This problem is equivalent to fin

## Abstract A bootstrap procedure useful in latent class, or more general mixture models has been developed to determine the sufficient number of latent classes or components required to account for systematic group differences in the data. The procedure is illustrated in the context of a multidime
## Abstract Recently, Fridman and Harris proposed a method which allows one to approximate the likelihood of the basic stochastic volatility model. They also propose to estimate the parameters of such a model maximising the approximate likelihood by an algorithm which makes use of numerical derivat
In this paper we develop a latent structure extension of a commonly used structural time series model and use the model as a basis for forecasting. Each unobserved regime has its own unique slope and variances to describe the process generating the data, and at any given time period the model predic
