PG - 1066-1067 LID - 10.3233/SHTI220270 [doi] AB - We compared the distribution of laboratory test values with several parametric statistical distributions to show that a lognormal distribution can represent the distribution of laboratory test values. Then, we estimated the distributions of laboratory test values of four datasets including only three published values: two endpoints of reference interval (RI) and one median.
