Abstract
We deal with collaborative studies where each of k laboratories performs n repeated binary measurements (measurement result x = 0: “not detected”; measurement result x = 1: “detected”), and present a simple method of constructing a confidence interval for the mean probability of detection of the laboratories. This method is based on an approximation of the distribution of the number y of detections among n independent measurements of a randomly chosen laboratory by a binomial distribution. The confidence interval is not only much easier to calculate but also more accurate than the profile likelihood interval presented by Uhlig et al.
