We are receiving a lot of questions about relevant analyses in the Analyse-it Method Validation edition to help in evaluating new diagnostic tests in the fight against COVID-19. Below are some quick links that will help, but contact us if you have questions - we are working as normal.

CLSI EP12-A2 for diagnostic accuracy see Sensitivity/Specificity, Estimating the sensitivity and specificity of a binary test and Comparing the accuracy of two binary diagnostic test.
CLSI EP17-A2 for detection limits of molecular methods using Probit analysis, see: Estimating the detection limit using a Probit fit.

EP12-A2 example sensitivity specificity of 2 diagnostic tests

EP17-A2 example Probit detection limit
