Objective Statistics For The Measurement Of Agreement, Elizabeth Perkin Moen
Wayne State University Dissertations
The prevailing method for biomedical device interchangeability is a scatterplot of means and differences bounded by levels of agreement (Bland-Altman Plot) which results in subjective judgments made in the discernment of differences in data distribution and fit. The purpose of this study was to test four statistics - the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and three fit indices (NFI, GFI, & CFI) in order to identify a more objective statistic for device interchangeability. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test proved incompatible with the data structure. The Normed Fit Index (NFI) proved most sensitive to correlation shifts where the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) and Comparative Fit …
