Although these methods don't rely on a gold standard for comparison, they do depend on a number of important assumptions. Violation of these assumptions could render the resulting estimates invalid. Non-gold-standard methods for estimating sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests have been described in more detail by Hui and Walter ([#9 1980]), Staquet et al. ([#19 1981]) and Enøe et al. ([#4 2000]).
