Abstract
A method for estimating a normal range from a set of immunologic measu rements on control subjects when there may be more than one observatio n per subject is described. The method is nonparametric, makes efficie nt use of all observations, and is very simple to apply. It is illustr ated on a set of 152 CD38 measurements from 58 healthy men.
