Abstract
Objectives: Biological variation (BV) analysis of laboratory tests gets increased attention due to its practical applications. These applications include correct interpretation of laboratory tests, the decision on the availability of reference intervals, contributions to clinical decision-making. It is critical to derive the BV information accurately and reliably. Another crucial step is to perform the statistical analysis of the BV data. Although there are updated and comprehensive guidelines, there is no reliable and comprehensive tool to perform statistical analysis of BV data.
