Hi lizhao,

Some example from the ordinary guidance:

❝ For clinical endpoints, I suppose the log-normal distribution doesn't hold, therefore I should use un-transformed data to construct the 90% confidence interval? Then it would be the confidence interval of mean Test/Reference ratio? Am I correct?


It could be the difference or the ratio.
It is common practice to suppose normal distribution of clinical endpoints.
BTW be aware, are you sure that your clinical endpoint is distributed normally?

❝ But then, would the acceptance limits become 80% to 120% instead?


Exactly (+/-0.2)

Kind regards,
Mittyri
