title: Normal range estimation for repeated immunologic measures.
abstract: A method for estimating a normal range from a set of immunologic measurements on control subjects when there may be more than one observation per subject is described. The method is nonparametric, makes efficient use of all observations, and is very simple to apply. It is illustrated on a set of 152 CD38 measurements from 58 healthy men.
