we choose the limits of acceptability based on the field in which we work, however, I want to know if it's possible or if there is a relation between limit of acceptability and the 95 % limit of the interval of beta expectation, according to accuracy profile
Hi Yassine,
I don't know what you mean by the term "limit of acceptability"? Are you referring to the nominal level of the confidence interval (i.e. 90%, 95% 99%)?
In healthcare research (my discipline), we typically use 95% CIs, unless it is otherwise noted (for example, there are clinical studies where 99% CIs are set, and there are some health behavior studies where 90% CI are set).
Is this what you are referring to, or something different?
Hi Ariel,
thank you for your response what i want to mean by "limit of acceptability" is what you explain above
and Iam asking if there is a relation between this choice and 95 % beta expectation in the validation satudies or not
Hi Yassine,
Please clarify what you mean by "95% beta expectation" as well as what you specifically mean by "validation study". The more details you provide, the more helpful the response.

Hi Ariel
"validation study" is a permanent process that starts from the very beginning of the life of the method until its retirement. also, validation is to ensure that every future measurement in routine analysis will be close enough to the unknown true
value for the content of the analyte in the sample.
the new apraoch of validation which is called accuracy profile, use the 95 % beta expectation tolerance interval as interval to predict new analytical result,
ok i wish that I explain beter now,
I have not heard this terminology used in health care research. It seems a bit like Bayesian theory. Can you please provide a reference? I'll read through it and provide feedback.
