Equivalence test: Parameter estimate

Add one or several equivalence tests for single parameters to your assay. 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).

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
