摘要：
A number of methods have been proposed to estimate the parameters of diagnostic tests in the absence of a perfect gold standard. However, these approaches require at least three diagnostic tests to estimate the parameters and most of these methods are inapplicable in point estimation problems involving nonidentifiable parameters.
