- Definition test that rejects the null hypothesis that the groups under consideration differ by at least Δ and declares that two groups are similar at the α = 0.05 level, if the 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in coverage is completely contained in the interval with endpoints –Δ and +Δ Reference "Lawrence E. Barker, Elizabeth T. Luman, Mary M. McCauley and Susan Y. Chu. Assessing Equivalence: An Alternative to the Use of Difference Tests for Measuring Disparities in Vaccination Coverage. American Journal of Epidemiology. (2002) 156 (11): 1056-1061, http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/156/11/1056.full [12.4.2012]"
- Comment "It is the most basic form of equivalence testing used to compare two groups. A (1 – 2α)100 percent confidence interval is constructed and, as in the difference analysis [ IATE:3541953 ], α = 0.05 is selected."
