Method comparison, reliability and agreement
Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology at Aalborg University
Welcome to Method comparison, reliability and agreement
Program: BEN (also relevant for B, CPM, CSLTM, and HES)
Description:
The course will focus on the importance of method comparison studies when evaluating new clinical and experimental methods. The course will describe how method comparison studies are designed and how obtained results are analysed and described. Application of analytical measures such as Coefficient of Variance, Intra-Class Correlation, differences in means, and Bland-Altman’s limits of agreement, inter-rater reliability, observer agreement, test accuracy and sample size estimation will be discussed. The aim of the course is to provide the participants with a toolbox that enables them to perform and analyse method comparison studies. This advanced course in biostatistics assumes knowledge of basic methods in biostatistics, including the concepts of hypothesis testing, and basic study designs. The course is designed for researchers working in both clinical and experimental settings.
