Interesting paper about the impact of missed cases on the accuracy of screening tools, likely of interest beyond autism research and practice communities.
I enjoyed in particular, that "[t]he strengths and benefits of blending epidemiology and psychometric perspectives to identify screening tools that are weaker than expected are discussed."
We have argued that the definition of the target population, #sampling procedure, and #ItemContent of an instrument jointly define the meaning of measures in particular applications (#PsychometricEpidemiology https://rdcu.be/dgE5g).
Written from the perspective that we were perplexed by psychologists being surprised that psychometric results change when population and sampling procedure are changed, I think it is an illustration of the above from the other side.
