95% CI = 95% confidence interval; ρ Correlation = Pearson correlation coefficient; SD ME = standard deviation of measurement error.

Three test-retest statistics (Pearson correlation, mean difference, and standard deviation of measurement error) and their 95% confidence intervals were computed from 18 pairs of tests taken approximately 2 weeks apart).
