Using Calibrating Weights to Account for Major Depression Diagnostic Interview Reference Standard Misclassification: a Case Study

The objective of this study is to develop a method for estimating diagnostic classification weights for reference standards to adjust for potential misclassification relative to the best reference standard available, and to estimate weights of major depression classification for the SCID, CIDI and MINI, enabling the estimation of diagnostic accuracy of the PHQ-9 independent of reference standard used.
