Finney University of Edinburgh TITLE: Radioimmunoassay - Statistical and Ethical Aspects ABSTRACT From the point of view of a statistician, radioimmunoassay or RIA has much in common with bioassay. For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with bioassay, I shall outline the procedure with particular reference to RIA. There are today many different types of immunoassay, differing in biochenical details and in the nature of the response but requiring very similar statistical analysis.
