Table 3.

Number of parameters in latent class model, by number of laboratories (R)

Model number Association of interest Accuracy differential by laboratory General number of labs (R) R = 1 R = 2 R = 3
1 Observed vs. true exposure status: EX Yes 2R + 2 4 6 8
2 Yes* 4R + 2 6 10 14
3 No 4 4 4 4
4 No* 6 6 6 6
5 Disease vs. true exposure status: DX Yes 2R + 3 5 7 9
6 No 5 5 5 5
7 Disease with observed exposure status: DE Yes 2R + 1 3 5 7
8 No 3 3 3 3

* error rates are (additionally) differential by disease status

D- disease; X-true genotype status; E-genotype status measured by laboratory test.
