Bayesian meta-analysis of diagnostic test data based on a
        scale mixtures bivariate random-effects model. Summary
        statistics are based on pooled and predictive sensitivities and
        specificities. Model checking is used for diagnostic of
        random-effects' misfit and predictive data is used to assess
