Consistency of diagnostic kits
Description
Consistency of diagnostic kits
Format
A data frame with 16 observations on the following 2 variables.
kit1
measurement using kit 1
kit2
measurement using kit 2
Details
Diagnostic kits are used in clinics or laboratories to test samples (e.g., blood) for some condition (i.e., illness). One kit can often test many samples. In this case one kit can test at least 16 samples. This study was to look the consistency between kits used to test the same set of samples. The samples would have been divided such that both kits could be used to test the sample and then the results compared.

show(plt1 <-
xyplot(kit2 ~ kit1, diagnostic,
aspect = "iso", type = c("g", "p"),
xlab = "Measurement using kit 1",
ylab = "Measurement using kit 2"))
tmd(plt1)
show(plt2 <-
xyplot(kit2 ~ kit1, diagnostic, aspect = "iso",
xlab = "Measurement using kit 1 - logarithmic axis",
ylab = "Measurement using kit 2 - logarithmic axis",
scales = list(log = 2)))
