Method comparison

A comparison of results where an assay and either a predicate assay or a reference method are compared over the range of the new assay.  The mathematical equation describing the comparison is y=mx+b where y is the intercept and m is the slope of the line generated by the comparison.  A study to address method comparison involves comparing data from the assay to that of the predicate using correlation design with regression analysis.
