Abstract
SUMMARY: Two statistical analyses are suggested to compare the success rates in isolating and identifying pathogenic organisms from specimens achieved by different laboratories participating in a quality control scheme. An example is given in which the analyses are applied to 25 laboratories that received 30 simulated specimens.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
