Detecting and Correcting for Label Shift with Black Box Predictors (2018, background): “Post-submission, we learned of antecedents for our estimator in epidemiology (Buck et al., 1966) and revisited by Forman (2008); Saerens et al. (2002).”
Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data (2010, methodology): “The correction for ground reference data error in this situation is derived algebraically with the real change detection accuracy and change extent derivable from simple equations (Gart and Buck, 1966; Rogan and Gladen, 1978; Staquet et al., 1981; Miller, 1998; Enøe et al., 2000).”
Estimation of sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests and disease prevalence when the true disease state is unknown. (2000, methodology): “Gart and Buck (1966) considered this case and provided estimates of the sensitivity (SeN) and the specificity (SpN) of the new test as well as the true prevalence (P) in the sample.”
