Package stapler details

Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation

An implementation of Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE) . This method is used when there are multiple raters for an object, typically an image, and this method fuses these ratings into one rating. It uses an expectation-maximization method to estimate this rating and the individual specificity/sensitivity for each rater.
