TWA 18
Statistical Techniques for Interlaboratory Studies
The primary function of this TWA was to provide guidance and advice on the design of round robin testing programs. Any TWA planning a round robin could take advantage of the expertise in this TWA in planning their experimental program to maximise the benefits from the often limited resources available for experiments. The main objectives were:
Service
- to provide statistical and computational support in the phases of the design and the analysis of classical interlaboratory studies on the basis of existing guidelines, standards and computer programs./li>
Optimization
- to provide mathematical, statistical and computational support for optimizing specimens, processes, experiments, interlaboratory studies and test methods by approaches of experimental design and quality engineering (Taguchi), finite elements, and mathematical modeling and computer simulation.
Research
- to identify needs and undertake corresponding problem-oriented research and development on statistical models and computational approaches for collaborative projects of selected structure and purpose.
Consulting
- to offer consultation and help in mathematics, computational statistics, scientific computing, selected fields of chemometrics, material science and engineering.
