Equivalence test: Parameter estimate
Add one or several equivalence tests for single parameters to your assay.
Overview
To add the tests as assay suitability tests, add them as children of the Assay suitability tests element. To add the tests as sample suitability tests, add them as children of the Sample suitability tests element.
Important:
Test definitions are ignored without notification if the parameter
you select results in invalid test definitions (for example, if a test cannot be
performed for the model you use).
Available tests
The following table lists all available tests and indicates which models and assay elements they support:
| Equivalence test on the: | Linear parallel-line model | 4-parameter logistic model | 5-parameter logistic model | 3-parameter logistic model with fixed lower or upper asymptote | Slope ratio model | Assay elements |
| Upper asymptote (A) (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | with fixed Lower asymptote | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| B parameter (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | yes | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| C parameter (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | yes | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| Lower asymptote (D) (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | with fixed Upper asymptote | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| Asymmetry parameter (G) (nonlinear models) | no | no | yes | no | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| Intercept (linear models) | yes | no | no | no | yes | Standard, Test, Control |
| Slope (linear models) | yes | no | no | no | yes | Standard, Test, Control |
| Difference of asymptotes (A - D) (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | no | no | Standard, Test, Control |
| Ratio of asymptotes (A / D) (nonlinear models) | no | yes | yes | no | no | Standard, Test, Control |
