Showed why correlation is not a measure of agreement and described plotting paired-method differences against their means with estimated bias and limits of agreement.

What is recorded here?

Showed why correlation is not a measure of agreement and described plotting paired-method differences against their means with estimated bias and limits of agreement.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact two-author 1986 Lancet paper and its method-comparison analysis. The illustrative peak-flow data were not a representative clinical validation, and later extensions and terminology remain separate.
