TL;DR
The usual measure of repeatability when only within day or only between day variation is studied is the within subject standard deviation, but if more than two repeat measurements are carried out for some or all subjects then repeatability is most easily calculated from the results of a one way anaiysis of variance.

An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

PC20-FEV1 was the most reproducible index, the 95% confidence intervals based on a single determination of R varied from +/- 52% to +/- 74% change/log histamine concentration, and neither PC and TC results showed a significant correlation, but neither were correlated with R.

Criteria are given for the choice of scale prior to estimation of repeatability, and recommendations of Bland and Altman are used for expressing repeatability and agreement of methods of measurement on the same scale.

The repeatability of PD20 compared well with that of asthmatic subjects tested in a clinical environment, and curve fitting has an advantage over linear interpolation in large community studies, for which analysis of data by computer is essential.

The problems of constructing population standards for measurements such as height and age points such as menarche are discussed and non-parametric estimation, as usually used for weight, is compared with transformation to Gaussianity and thence parametric estimation.

The use of Ros during bronchial challenge testing is valid, but shows insufficient advantage over FEV1 to support its use in epidemiological studies.

The index which emerged as the best overall in both studies was the mean of the largest three results from five attempts, better than the recommended index for all the comparisons made, but at the same time it gave a very similar mean value for the FEV1.
