Equivalence and Noninferiority Tests for Quality

This book presents methods for using validation and verification test data to demonstrate equivalence and noninferiority in engineering and applied science. It covers numerous tests drawn from the authors more than 30 years of work in a range of industrial settings. The book provides computational formulas for the tests, methods to determine or justify sample sizes, and formulas to calculate power and operating characteristic curves. The methods are accessible using standard statistical software and do not require complicated programming.
