By combining data across multiple studies, researchers increase sample size, statistical power, and precision for pooled analyses of biomarker-disease associations. However, researchers must adjust for between-study variability in biomarker measurements. Previous research often treats the biomarker measurements from a reference laboratory as a gold standard, even though those measurements are certainly not equal to their true values. This paper addresses measurement error and bias arising from b ...[more]
