2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONDue to the inherent imprecision in all test methods, a laboratory cannot expect to o
3、btain thenumerically exact accepted reference value (ARV) of a check standard (CS) material every time oneis tested. Results that are reasonably close to the ARV should provide assurance that the laboratory isperforming the test method either without bias, or with a bias that is of no practical conc
4、ern, hencerequiring no intervention. Results differing from the ARV by more than a certain amount, however,should lead the laboratory to take corrective action.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers a methodology for establishing anacceptable tolerance zone for the difference between the resultobtained f
5、rom a single implementation of a test method on aCS and its ARV, based on user-specified Type I error, theuser-established test method precision, the standard error of theARV, and a presumed hypothesis that the laboratory is per-forming the test method without bias.NOTE 1Throughout this practice, th
6、e term user refers to the user ofthis practice; and the term laboratory (see 1.1) refers to the organization orentity that is performing the test method.1.2 For the tolerance zone established in 1.1, a methodologyis presented to estimate the probability that the single test resultwill fall outside t
7、he zone, in the event that there is a bias(positive or negative) of a user-specified magnitude that isdeemed to be of practical concern (that is, the presumedhypothesis is not true).1.3 This practice is intended for ASTM Committee D02 testmethods that produce results on a continuous numerical scale.
8、1.4 This practice assumes that the normal (Gaussian) modelis adequate for the description and prediction of measurementsystem behavior when it is in a state of statistical control.NOTE 2While this practice does not cover scenarios in which multipleresults are obtained on the same CS under site preci

28、 (b) error in classical statistical hypothesis testing, refers tothe probability of failure to reject the null hypothesis when it isnot true, based on statistics generated from relevant data. Toquantify Type II error, the user is required to declare a specificalternate hypothesis that is believed to
29、 be true. In applying thispractice, the alternate hypothesis will take the form: “The testmethod is biased by at least D”, where D is a priori decided bythe user as the minimum amount of bias in either direction(positive or negative) that is of practical concern. The alternatehypothesis can be equiv

Significance and Use4.1 Laboratories performing petroleum test methods can usethis practice to set an acceptable tolerance zone for infrequenttesting of CS or CCS material, based on , and a desired TypeI error, for the purpose of ascertaining if the test method is
31、being performed without bias.4.2 This practice can be used to estimate the power ofcorrectly detecting bias of different magnitudes, using theacceptable tolerance zone set in 4.1, and hence, gain insightinto the limitation of the true bias detection capability associ-ated with this acceptable tolera
32、nce zone. With this insight,trade-offs can be made between desired Type I error versusdesired bias detection capability to suit specific business needs.4.3 The CS testing activities described in this practice areintended to augment and not replace the regular statisticalmonitoring of test method per
33、formance as described in PracticeD 6299.5. General Requirement5.1 Application of the methodology in this practice requiresthe following:5.1.1 The standard material has an ARV and associatedstandard error (SEARV).NOTE 3For a given power of detection, the magnitude of theassociated bias detectable is
34、directly proportional to 5=SE2ARV1s2SITE. Therefore, efforts should be made to keep the ratio(SEARV/ sSITE) to as low a value as practical. A ratio of 0.5 or less isconsidered useful.5.1.2 The user has a sSITEfor the test method that isreasonably suited for the standard material.NOTE 4It is recogniz
35、ed that there will be situations in which the CSmay not be compositionally similar to or have property level similar to, orboth, the materials regularly tested. For those situations, the site precisionstandard deviation (sSITE) estimated using regularly tested material at aproperty level closest to
36、the check standard should be used.5.1.3 The user should pre-specify the required Type I errorand the minimum magnitude of bias that is of practical concern(D).D66170825.1.4 The test method is in statistical control.NOTE 5Within the context of this practice, a test method can be instatistical control
37、 (that is, mean is stable, under common cause variations),but can be biased.NOTE 6Generally, sites with ssitenominally less than 0.25 R, orequivalently, site precision (2.77 3ssite) less than 0.69 R (R is thepublished test method reproducibility, if available) are considered to bereasonably proficie

42、depend on the magnitude of D specified, the totaluncertainty , and the specified Type I error rate. Power of bias detectionwill increase at the expense of an increase in Type I error rate or increasein D.6.10 Use the appropriate k value from Column B of Table 1that met the specified Type I error and
