Accuracy predefined

The screen shows the predefined area to be scanned and filled to ensure maximum coverage The transmitter operates with a frequency of 40 kHz and with a pulse repetition frequency of 200 Hz. This gives the system an accuracy in positioning of better than 1 mm. 

Choosing a standard GTO basis set means that the wave function is being described by a finite number of functions. This introduces an approximation into the calculation since an infinite number of GTO functions would be needed to describe the wave function exactly. Dilferences in results due to the quality of one basis set versus another are referred to as basis set effects. In order to avoid the problem of basis set effects, some high-accuracy work is done with numeric basis sets. These basis sets describe the electron distribution without using functions with a predefined shape. A typical example of such a basis set might... 

The expansion in (2.56) is complete and convergent. This means that any positive function normalized to unity can be represented in this form, and, for sufficiently large n, the absolute values of the coefficients in the expansion for i > n will be smaller than any arbitrary small, predefined value, e. This nice and formal property is, however, not particularly useful in practice because, by and large, only the first few coefficients in the expansion can be determined from simulations with sufficient accuracy. This means that (2.56), or any other expansion, is useful only if it converges quickly. 

An alternative to quantitative analysis by ICP-MS is semiquantitative analysis, which is generally considered as a rapid multielement survey tool with accuracies in the range 30-50%. Semiquantitative analysis is based on the use of a predefined response table for all the elements and a computer program that can interpret the mass spectrum and correct spectral Interferences. This approach has been successfully applied to different types of samples. The software developed to perform semiquantitative analysis has evolved in parallel with the instrumentation and, today, accuracy values better than 10% have been reported by several authors, even competing with typical ones obtained by quantitative analysis. The development of a semiquantitative procedure for multielemental analysis with ICP-MS requires the evaluation of the molar response curve in the ICP-MS system (variation of sensitivity as a function of the mass of the measured isotope) [17]. Additionally, in the development of a reliable semiquantitative method, some mathematical approaches should be employed in order to estimate the ionisation conditions in the plasma, its use to correct for ionisation degrees and the correction of mass-dependent matrix interferences. 

Instrumentation is the critical link between the manufacturing process and the control system. Instruments are the eyes (i.e., transmitters, sensors) and limbs (i.e., actuators, positioners) of a process control system and enable it to perform the actions that were once performed by operators and laboratory technicians. If an instrament should malfunction, data integrity and the predefined control actions will be affected. Indeed unsatisfactory instrumentation can cause significant operational problems. It is essential that an instrument is carefully chosen to be fit for purpose (i.e., correct type, size, materials, accuracy, repeatability, reliability, documentation, etc.) to enable confidence to be gained in its ability to perform its intended function. ... 

Control and monitoring required for each specific area of the building this should be in accordance with a predefined separation policy for critical areas vs. noncritical areas. It should also address the tolerances for control and monitoring accuracy. 

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT, Fig. 2) is a device that produces voltage proportional to the position of a core rod inside a cylinder body. It measures displacement or a position of an object relative to some predefined zero location. On tablet presses, LVDTs are used to measure punch displacement and in-die thickness. They generally have very high precision and accuracy, but there are numerous practical concerns regarding improper mounting or maintenance of such transducers on tablet presses. 

The next step in the process is to assess the predictive capability of the alternative method. This may be done by confirming that alternative method data input into the predefined prediction models provides outputs that predict in vivo toxicity at the level of both accuracy and precision defined at the beginning of the study. Once the data are available from the validation study, each result from the alternative method should be converted by the algorithm(s) in the prediction model into a prediction of in vivo toxicity. Then the predicted toxicity should be directly compared with the actual toxicity of each test substance. If the method predicts toxicity within the limits defined by the prediction model, then it would provide strong evidence supporting the predictive capability of the assay. If the results from the alternative method poorly predict in vivo toxicity, then there would be little evidence supporting the utility of the method. 

For all accepted batches Calculation of precision and accuracy, report all results (even those outside predefined acceptance limits)... 

During prestudy validation, specificity and selectivity are confirmed. Selectivity may be expressed as acceptable recovery, applying the same principles as for the assessment of accuracy (see below). Acceptance criteria should be predefined. Acceptance criteria for selectivity and specificity typically do not exist for in-study validation. If potential interference may become a problem caused by the matrix from persons with the disease, specificity and selectivity should be confirmed by repeating suitable experiments once those disease-state matrices become available. 

The inline dilution system shall allow the preparation of buffers with an inline dilution factor ranging from 1 to 10. This factor determines the ratio of water to concentrated buffer. Larger ratios are of course feasible, but there is a trade-off between the process accuracy and flexibility to be taken into account. The systems shall cope as well with process disturbances and shall be robust again changing process conditions (such as pressure drop in a chromatography column or a sudden change in pressure or flow rate in the primary water supply). The robustness of such systems is crucial since pharmaceutical processes are validated to run in certain predefined limits. Any deviations to such limits will lead to additional investigation costs that could have severe consequences, in the extreme situation the withdrawal of the produced product. 

A series of concentrations (usually in the region of 0.01-0.5% of the target concentration) of the analyte can be prepared (in triplicate) and the accuracy of each solution measured. The LOQ is reached when the data no longer fall within the predefined limits for accuracy. The limits set for accuracy around the LOQ would be in the region of approximately 20%, depending on the natme of the sample. 

Given a predefined target accuracy, the error from each of these four steps should be reduced below the desired tolerance. The error at a given level may be defined as the change that would occur if the calculation were taken to the infinite correlation, infinite basis limit. A typical target accuracy is 4kJ/mol ( 1 kcal/mol), the so-called... 

It provides a priori knowledge of either the number of iterations required to achieve a predefined accuracy or the accuracy achievable with a given number of iterations.
