Possible applications include assay migration studies or interlaboratory trials. When comparing only two methods, the method boils down to the usual Passing-Bablok estimator. It is close in spirit to reduced major axis regression, which is, however, not robust. To obtain a robust estimator, the major axis is replaced by the (hyper-)spherical median axis. This technique has been applied to compare SARS-CoV-2 serological tests, bilirubin in neonates, and an in vitro diagnostic test using different instruments, sample preparations, and reagent lots. In addition, plots similar to the well-known Bland-Altman plots have been developed to represent the variance structure.
