β¦ Synopsis
A method comparison study is typically concerned with evaluating the agreement between a "new" method against an "established" method for measuring the same quantity. Various statistical indices have been advocated for measuring the extent to which two methods give identical readings, that is, absolute method agreement. This article scrutinizes two contending statistical indices, the intraclass correlation and the "limits of agreement", for measuring absolute method agreement, and found neither index to be without deficiency. Notwithstanding, each index can serve a useful role in quantitating method agreement in carefully considered situations.

The intraclass correlation coefficient (r,) has been advocated as a statistic for assessing agreement or consistency between two methods of measurement, in conjunction with a significance test of the difference between means obtained by the two methods. We show that neither technique is appropriate
## Abstract Epidemiologic studies on adverse health effects of cellular telephone use have assessed exposure either by selfβreported use based on questionnaire data or by using data on subscriptions for a cellular telephone provided by network operators. With the latter approach, subjects are miscl
