A generic error grid comparing a test method with a reference method. Zone A is the allowable total error region where at least 95% of the data points should be found. Zone C is the limits of erroneous region where no data should be found. Zone B is in between Zones A and C where no more than 5% of the data points should be found (Adapted from Reference 3).
