In-vitro equivalence [General Statistics]
Hi Alex,
Absolutely correct re. the ignorance of ref. variability. However I am not sure in the context of this question that within-batch variability is the concern, given Martin's question "assuming normal distribution and independent replicates". In fact, when we look at between-batches (which I think is the likely aim for this QbD exercise) then the replicates within batches can certainly not be said to be independent or uncorrelated. In such situations, I think the theoretical way out is to use a mixed model. But it all depends on the purpose.
But as always I could be wrong, so...
Martin, do you wish to characterise the process performace within-batch or between-batch?
❝ Wouldn't that ignore the variability of the reference batch? It would be identical to an one-sample t-test to the reference PE for each batch. What if the focus is more on testing for equivalence than on testing for difference?
