This paper considers a latent class model to uncover subpopulation structure for both biomarker trajectories and the probability of disease outcome in highly unbalanced longitudinal data. A speci"c pattern of trajectories can be viewed as a latent class in a "nite mixture where membership in latent
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
