Values shown are 100× j·uv as defined at the beginning of Section 3.1, where j corresponds to a reader with the β shown for that row, and the · subscript indicates averaging over specimen effects if present. Bold entries are the percentage correctly classified for each true stage.

If present, specimen effects are assumed to be −1.92, 0, and +1.92 each with probability 1/3.

Marginal rates, averaged over readers with β= −1, β=0, and β= +1.

**

Two observations (6%) with true stage 2 and read stage 0 not shown due to space constraints and no occurrence of this combination in Study R1.
