A statistical evaluation of the Youden Matched-Pairs Procedure
1U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, DC 20204, USA.
Abstract:
AOAC INTERNATIONAL currently permits investigators to use the Youden Matched-Pairs Procedure to obtain estimates of the method performance indicators repeatability and reproducibility (S(r) and SR, respectively). This report explains the statistical model assumptions upon which the procedure is based, provides validity tests for several of these assumptions, explains conditions under which Youdens' "precision error" is not consistent with precision estimate S(r) or SR as defined by AOAC INTERNATIONAL, and indicates when precision estimates based on the procedure should be interpreted with caution or should not be used.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
