New methods for partitioning biochemical reference data are developed, favoring proportion criteria over distance criteria for non-Gaussian distributions. This approach effectively addresses subgroup prevalence and tied reference values in data analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Statistical Analysis
  • Reference Data Management

Background:

  • Developing novel methods for partitioning biochemical reference data is crucial.
  • Existing methods often struggle with non-Gaussian distributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop new partitioning criteria for biochemical reference data.
  • To specifically address challenges posed by non-Gaussian distributions.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed partitioning criteria based on proportions of subgroups outside reference limits.
  • Introduced distance criteria for Gaussian distributions, but found them less suitable for non-Gaussian data.
  • Developed two methods (root and multiplication) to handle subgroup prevalences.
  • Suggested solutions for tied reference values.

Main Results:

  • Proportion criteria are more suitable than distance criteria for non-Gaussian distributions.
  • Distance criteria struggle to account for subgroup prevalences.
  • Distance criteria are inadequate for handling tied reference values.

Conclusions:

  • Partitioning biochemical reference data should prioritize proportion criteria, especially for non-Gaussian distributions.
  • The proposed methods enable accounting for subgroup prevalences and tied reference values using proportion criteria.
  • This enhances the accuracy and reliability of biochemical reference data partitioning.
