xi, 157 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm. "This book sets out to provide an example-based, 'how-to' guide to the comparison of measurement methods in a clinical context. Whilst much material has been published on obtaining and comparing accurate measurements in medical research this will be the first book length treatment of the subject. The author draws upon his experience in multicentre clinical studies to present data and examples drawn from real case studies. The book will be supplemented by a website hosting datasets and programs to allow the reader to reproduce all of the analyses"--Provided by publisher.
