✦ Synopsis

A computer program to derive the reference range from patients' results is presented. It separately modifies the two halves (separated by the peak) of the frequency distribution curve of patients' results by extending a para-apical portion by linear regression and thus derives the frequency distribution curve representing results unaffected by disease. The reference range is then calculated non-parametrically. The ranges obtained for most of the common chemistries were very close to the ones in use in the laboratory. Advantages and limitations of the method are discussed.

Reference range Patients' results

Frequency distribution curve Non-parametric range

There is an increasing need for statistical analysis of the electrical activity of the brain (EEG) especially with regard to its relationships to other parameters of cerebral activity and metabolism. In the present study new techniques for EEG quantitation and for the measurement of regional cerebra
