Table 2 Summary table with comparison of quality of results for all analyzed test cases.

From: refineR: A Novel Algorithm for Reference Interval Estimation from Real-World Data

  1. The table shows for all considered methods (direct method with n = 120 and n = 400, kosmic and refineR algorithm) the overall distribution of RI estimates for the six simulated analyte distributions in the five evaluation categories (see “Methods” Table 1). The results are shown for the lower and upper reference interval as well as an average of both options for the overall amount.
  2. TE total error, RI reference interval.
