Abstract:

We will consider a Bayesian analysis for modeling a binary outcome that is subject to misclassification. Additionally, an explanatory variable is assumed to be unobservable, but measurements are available on its surrogate. A binary regression model is developed to incorporate the measurement error in the covariate as well as the misclassification in the response. We will investigate the inclusion of a random effect to accommodate additional variation. A Bayesian model selection criterion will be utilized. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are employed to perform the necessary computations. The methods developed will be illustrated through an example.
