Comparison ot two methods of measurements of the same substance: an evaluation of some statistical procedures
Abstract:
Linear regression analysis and calculation of the correlation coefficient are usually used to compare the results of two methods of measurement of the same substance. The limitations of these procedures are illustrated with numerical examples, in which X (the independent variable contains random errors of measurement. Formulas are given for estimating a linear functional relationship in this case. An alternative procedure, not involving linear regression, is described in which means and variances of replicate measurements by each method are compared at various concentrations over the analytical range. The appropriate statistical tests are discussed.

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
