This data frame corresponds to 10 clinical studies reporting the accuracy of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of lymph  node metastasis in women with cervical cancer
(Table III of Scheidler et al. 1997).

datasets

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
        models departures from observed data.
