  • Correct ways of using regression for method comparison studies - determination of LDL-cholesterol
    Islamčević Razboršek, Maša ...
    Statistical comparison of two laboratory methods, measuring the same objects, is usually performed by regression. However, the results achieved are often incorrect due to the application of ordinary ... least square linear regression, which should not be used for this purpose. A statistically correct decision whether two laboratory methods provide conconrdant or discordant results is reliable only when using regression techniques which respect the errors of both compared variables. Another correct possibility is to apply a robust regression where the errors of compared variables do not influence the calculation of regression parameters and their standard deviations. A survey of appropriate regression techniques and their use for comparison of real-life clinical methods is given in this paper.
