Method validation - The problem of finite number of measurements Method validation can be done only with a finite number of measurements. Consequently, all experimental data are only experimental ESTIMATES have statistical CONFIDENCE INTERVALS. Confidence intervals STDEV: involvement of the CHI-square statistics; for imprecision. AVERAGE: involvement of the Student's t-statistics; for trueness. CENTILE: involvement of Normal statistics and t-statistics; for total error. Note 1: for the total error, tolerance or prediction intervals may be of additional interest.Note 2: method comparison studies are an important tool for estimating total error. The involved statistics (for example, reghere. EXCEL functions: CHIDIST; CHIINV; TDIST; TINV; NORMDIST; NORMSDIST; NORMSINV.

RequirementsSTT

Requirements We will work with the requirements for bioanalytical method validation [1]: CVmax = 15% (20% at the limit of quantitation, LoQ). Maximum Bias (Bmax) = 15% (20% at the limit of quantitation, LoQ). $Maximum Total error (TEmax): 1.96 x CVmax = 29.4% Note: In document [1], TEmax is indirectly defined by the "in-study" quality control rule: 66.7% of the results should be withinOne may slightly change that to 68.3%, because this corresponds to +/-1s. $We use the Westgard concept for calculating CV/B ratios that satisfy a TEmax of 29.4%: TE = B + 1.96 multiplier gradually from 1.96 to 1.65 when introducing bias [8]. By doing so, we keep the results outside TE at 5% (moving fTE = B (0→15) + (1.96→1.65) s (15→8.76); for B = 15, s (8.76→0): TE = 29.4→15. Note: If we would allow Bmax and CVmax happen at the same time, TEmax would be 39.75% (=15 + 1.65 x 15). 1 Guidance for Industry: Bioanalytical Method Validation, US Department of Health andHumanServices, Food and Drug Administratand Research (CBER), Rockville, MD, 2001. 2 Hoffman D, Kringle R.

study" quality control rule: 66.7% of the results should be within +/-15% (4 results out of 6, 4-6-15 rule) [2].

$We use the Westgard concept for calculating CV/B ratios that satisfy a TEmax of 29.4%: TE = B + 1.96 s [3 - 7]. However, we modify that concept by changing the z-multiplier gradually from 1.96 to 1.65 when introducing bias [8]. By doing so, we keep the results outside TE at 5% (moving from 2-sided 5% to 1-sided 5%).

Note: If we would allow Bmax and CVmax happen at the same time, TEmax would be 39.75% (=15 + 1.65 x 15).

Note 1

The "rest bias" is calculated by use of the TE-limit of 29.4%.

Note 2

With n = 20, all 3 approaches deliver a bias limit of approx. 8%

when we use the "b"-CV for calculation.

Requirement We will work with the CV requirement for bioanalytical method validation [1]: CVmax = 15% (20% at the limit of quantitation, understood as total CV, consisting of a within-day (within-run) and a between-day (betweenwork with the standard deviation (s) at a level of 100 (= m). This corresponds then directly to the CV. Experimental design The experimental design for estimating imprecision should strive for balanced degrees of freedom (df) for withinFurther, the number of measurement results should be sufficiently high for obtaining reasonable confidence intervals. We choodesign: Days = 10 (= k); Replicates = 2 (per day = n); Total = 20 (the guidance documents require 5 [1] or 3 [2] measurements, only).The data are simulated with the EXCEL-function "Random Number Generation" (Tools>Data Analysis) in such a way to obtain a total of approximately 8.69. Three data sets are simulated: sb = 0, sw = 8.69, m = 100 (directly 2 x 10) sb = 6.14, sw = 6.14, m = 100 (first the 10 between, then the replicates: 10 times, "between values", sb = 7.8, sw = 3.8, m = 100 (see case 2) Depending on the ratio sb/sw, the df's for st approach the total df's (maximum 19) or the between df's (minimum 9).
