This study introduces a new method for measuring agreement between measurement techniques using the concordance correlation coefficient for discrete data. The Poisson-Normal generalized linear mixed model provides a more accurate assessment of agreement for count data compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Measurement Science
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Interchangeability of measurement methods is crucial for reliable decision-making in various scientific fields.
  • The concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) is a standard metric for assessing agreement between continuous measurements.
  • Existing methods for discrete data often involve data transformation, potentially introducing bias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the application of the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) to discrete Poisson data.
  • To introduce and evaluate the Poisson-Normal generalized linear mixed model for CCC estimation with discrete data.
  • To compare the performance of the new model against traditional Normal-Normal mixed models with data transformations.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) expression for discrete Poisson data using a Poisson-Normal generalized linear mixed model.
  • Conducting a simulation study to assess the behavior and accuracy of the CCC estimates.
  • Comparison of the proposed model with three Normal-Normal mixed models utilizing raw, log-transformed, and square-root transformed data.

    • Main Results:

    • The Poisson-Normal generalized linear mixed model demonstrated superior performance in estimating the concordance correlation coefficient for discrete Poisson data.
    • Simulation results indicated that the proposed model provides more reliable agreement estimates compared to Normal-Normal models with data transformations.
    • The study highlights the limitations of data transformation methods for discrete data analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The Poisson-Normal generalized linear mixed model offers a robust and accurate approach for calculating the concordance correlation coefficient with discrete Poisson data.
    • This method enhances the reliability of agreement assessments when comparing measurement techniques for count data.
    • The findings have significant implications for fields relying on discrete measurements, such as clinical diagnostics and biological assays.
