Agreement assessment techniques are widely used in examining the
acceptability of a new or generic process, methodology and/or
formulation in areas of lab performance, instrument/assay
validation or method comparisons, statistical process control,
goodness-of-fit, and individual bioequivalence. Successful
applications in these situations require a sound understanding of
both the underlying theory and methodological advances in
handling real-life problems. This book seeks to effectively blend
theory and applications while presenting readers with many
practical examples. For instance, in the medical device
environment, it is important to know if the newly established lab
can reproduce the instrument/assay results from the established
but outdating lab. When there is a disagreement, it is
important to differentiate the sources of disagreement. In
addition to agreement coefficients, accuracy and precision
coefficients are introduced and utilized to characterize these
sources.

This book will appeal to a broad range of statisticians,
researchers, practitioners and students, in areas of biomedical
devices, psychology, medical research, and others, in which
agreement assessment are needed. Many practical illustrative
examples will be presented throughout the book in a wide variety
of situations for continuous and categorical data.
