Limits of agreement provide a straightforward and intuitive approach to agreement between different methods for measuring the same quantity. When pairs of observations using the two methods are independent, i.e., on different subjects, the calculations are very simple and straightforward. Some authors collect repeated data, either as repeated pairs of measurements on the same subject, whose true value of the measured quantity may be changing, or more than one measurement by one or both methods of an unchanging underlying quantity. In this paper we describe methods for analysing such clustered observations, both when the underlying quantity is assumed to be changing and when it is not.
一致性界限为比较测量同一量值的不同方法之间的一致性提供了一种直接且直观的方法。当使用两种方法的观测值对相互独立时,即针对不同的受试者,计算非常简单直接。一些作者收集重复数据,这些数据可以是对同一受试者的重复测量对,其测量量的真实值可能在变化,也可以是对一个不变的基础量通过一种或两种方法进行的多次测量。在本文中,我们描述了分析此类聚类观测值的方法,包括基础量被假定为变化和不变化的情况。
