Reference Interval Estimation using Real-World Data

v2.0.0 · Nov 6, 2025 · GPL (>= 3)

Description

Indirect method for the estimation of reference intervals (RIs) using Real-World Data ('RWD') and methods for comparing and verifying RIs. Estimates RIs by applying advanced statistical methods to routine diagnostic test measurements, which include both pathological and non-pathological samples, to model the distribution of non-pathological samples. This distribution is then used to derive reference intervals and support RI verification, i.e., deciding if a specific RI is suitable for the local population. The package also provides functions for printing and plotting algorithm results. See ?refineR for a detailed description of features. Version 1.0 of the algorithm is described in 'Ammer et al. (2021)' <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-95301-2>. Additional guidance is in 'Ammer et al. (2023)' <doi:10.1093/jalm/jfac101>. The verification method is described in 'Beck et al. (2025)' <doi:10.1515/cclm-2025-0728>.
