Diagnostic tests are often difficult to interpret. Use of methods intended for binary tests leads to loss of information when these methods are applied to quantitative tests. The author reviews methods for correctly interpreting qualitative and quantitative tests, for finding the best combination of tests, and for assessing when to test.
