I just read that article you cite. That is just what I was looking for yesterday!
The related question I have is about variance. With uPSA tests, how much test/retest variance is there? In my case, I now have 3 3 month uPSAs, 0.012, 0.016, 0.012. Is that likely to be random variation or something else? (I'm using LabCorp, I understand there is more than one assay (testing strategy).)
Your article suggests that 0.03 is a meaningful cutoff, in which case I have at least one more, possibly several or many, to find out how the sequence emerges for me.
Since I'm new to this forum, I didn't see the first page of responses before my comments. I see @kujhawk1978 provides an extensive sequence, which is helpful. I notice he uses USPSA for what I've seen abbreviated uPSA and he adds KCUC, which I'm guessing is his testing site in Kansas City. It's encouraging to me to hear from people farther out in the journey.
