Tóm tắt	Bioequivalence Analysis is a regulatory-grade statistical framework used to determine whether a test drug formulation (generic or reformulated) delivers the active ingredient to the systemic circulation at a rate and extent comparable to a reference product. Introduced by Donald J. Schuirmann in 1987, the method operationalizes equivalence through the Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) procedure, replacing the ambiguous absence-of-difference paradigm with an explicit equivalence margin evaluated on log-transformed pharmacokinetic endpoints such as AUC and C_max.	The equivalence test using the Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) procedure is a parametric hypothesis test designed to demonstrate that the difference between two group means falls within a pre-specified equivalence region ±Δ. Introduced by Schuirmann (1987) in the context of pharmaceutical bioequivalence, TOST reverses the logic of classical null-hypothesis testing: instead of trying to detect a difference, it provides positive evidence of similarity.
