Abstract:
Comparing the reproducibility level of two devices with continuous outcome on a unique sample of subjects (each subject being assessed several times with both devices) comes down to compare two dependent intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). When planning such a reproducibility study, one has to specify both the number of subjects to be included and the number of replicates per subject associated to each device. We propose SAS and S-plus macros, which allow power calculations by implementing a simulation study where dependent ICCs are compared by means of a likelihood ratio-test.

Introduction to Test of Independence
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:
Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
