Provides the practical tools for analyzing method comparison studies along with guidance on what to report and how to plan comparison studies and advice on appropriate software.
Illustrated throughout with computer examples in R.
Supported by a supplementary website hosting an R-package that performs the major part of the analyses needed in the area.
Examples in SAS and Stata for the most common situations are also provided.
Written by an acknowledged expert on the subject, with a long standing experience as a biostatistician in a clinical environment and a track record of delivering training on the subject.
