MethComp (version 1.30.0)

Analysis of Agreement in Method Comparison Studies

Description

Methods (standard and advanced) for analysis of agreement between measurement methods. These cover Bland-Altman plots, Deming regression, Lin's Total deviation index, and difference-on-average regression. See Carstensen B. (2010) "Comparing Clinical Measurement Methods: A Practical Guide (Statistics in Practice)" for more information.
