Statistics basic

the single value 85°C might not completely characterize the level of input x. Similarly, the single value 93% yield might mislead us about the overall behavior of the output y,. Will y, be 93% yield if we repeat the experiment using presumably identical conditions Will it change Over what limits What might be expected as a typical value  

The two questions to be answered in this chapter are, What can be used to describe the level of output from the system and What can be used to describe the variation in the level of output from the system

The method allows variables to be added or multiplied using basic statistical rules, and can be applied to dependent as well as independent variables. If input distributions can be represented by a mean, and standard deviation then the following rules are applicable for independent variables ...

Detailed illustrations and examples are used throughout to develop basic statistical methodology for deahng with a broad area of applications. However, in addition to this material, there are many specialized topics as well as some veiy subtle areas which have not been discussed. The references should be used for more detailed information. 

Due to its nature, random error cannot be eliminated by calibration. Hence, the only way to deal with it is to assess its probable value and present this measurement inaccuracy with the measurement result. This requires a basic statistical manipulation of the normal distribution, as the random error is normally close to the normal distribution. Figure 12.10 shows a frequency histogram of a repeated measurement and the normal distribution f(x) based on the sample mean and variance. The total area under the curve represents the probability of all possible measured results and thus has the value of unity.

If error is random and follows probabilistic (normally distributed) variance phenomena, we must be able to make additional measurements to reduce the measurement noise or variability. This is certainly true in the real world to some extent. Most of us having some basic statistical training will recall the concept of calculating the number of measurements required to establish a mean value (or analytical result) with a prescribed accuracy. For this calculation one would designate the allowable error (e), and a probability (or risk) that a measured value (m) would be different by an amount (d). 

We make five replicate measurements using an analytical method to calculate basic statistics regarding the method. Then we want to determine if a seemingly aberrant single result is indeed a statistical outlier. The five replicate measurements are 5.30%, 5.44%, 5.78%, 5.00%, and 5.30%. The result we are concerned with is 6.0%. Is this result an outlier To find out we first calculate the absolute values of the individual deviations ... 

This chapter deals with handling the data generated by analytical methods. The first section describes the key statistical parameters used to summarize and describe data sets. These parameters are important, as they are essential for many of the quality assurance activities described in this book. It is impossible to carry out effective method validation, evaluate measurement uncertainty, construct and interpret control charts or evaluate the data from proficiency testing schemes without some knowledge of basic statistics. This chapter also describes the use of control charts in monitoring the performance of measurements over a period of time. Finally, the concept of measurement uncertainty is introduced. The importance of evaluating uncertainty is explained and a systematic approach to evaluating uncertainty is described. 

This chapter has considered two key aspects related to quality assurance - the use of control charts and the evaluation of measurement uncertainty. These activities, along with method validation, require some knowledge of basic statistics. The chapter therefore started with an introduction to the most important statistical terms. 

The demand planning module is used for short-term and midterm sales planning. It covers basic statistical forecasting methods, but is also capable of taking additional aspects into account. For example, these may be promotions in shortterm sales planning or the consideration of product lifecycles in midterm sales planning. 

After analysis of basic statistics and Shapiro-Wilk normality test, it was concluded that the data did not assure the normality conditions necessary to perform certain statistical analysis. To follow usual procedures the data were lognormalised and normality was tested by normal probability curves. 

Methods of experimental design discussed in most basic statistics books can be applied equally well to minimizing fix) (see Chapter 2). You evaluate a series of points about a reference point selected according to some type of design such as the ones shown in Figure 6.1 (for an objective function of two variables). Next you move to the point that improves the objective function the most, and repeat. 

The four basic statistical principles of experimental design are rephcation, randomization, concurrent ( local ) control and balance. In abbreviated form, these may be summarized as follows. 

From the thermodynamic viewpoint, the basic statistical theory is still too complex to provide useful working equations, but it does suggest forms of equations with some purely theoretical terms, and other terms including parameters to be evaluated empirically. In general, the theoretical terms arise from the electrostatic interactions which are simple and well-known while the empirical, terms relate to short-range interionic forces whose characteristics are qualitatively but not quantitatively known from independent sources. But, as we shall see, this division is not complete - there are interactions between the two categories.

This is a selection of terms related to statistics. You will find more detailed descriptions in chapter 8 - Basic Statistics . 

These are the terms that are associated with validation. Many of these terms are explained in detail in the chapters 11- Fit for Pnrpose and Validation of Analytical Methods , and 8 - Basic Statistics . So please check there. A few examples (of the more often nsed terms) are presented on the next slide.
