Self-regulation statistics

Quality assurance—organizational independence, staff qualifications, self-inspection program, AQL, change control procedures, documentation and reports, complaint files, awareness of current regulations, statistical concept employed, batch record turnaround time, etc. 

On safety, the Board works closely with nine accident prevention associations, each of which is concerned with safety in one particular field of endeavour. The Construction Safety Association of Ontario is one of these organizations, and bears the exclusive responsibility for accident prevention by self-regulation within the construction industry. The Board provides overall direction and financial support to each accident prevention association, this financial support amounting to S3 7 million in 1969, of which the Association received about SI-4 million. In addition to financial support, the Board provides the associations with ipfury statistical information relevant to each particular industry. 

Before we can start to develop a model we also have to decide how to interpret the behavior observed in Fig. 2.1. The variations in insulin and glucose concentrations could be generated by a damped oscillatory system that was continuously excited by external perturbations (e.g. through interaction with the pulsatile release of other hormones). However, the variations could also represent a disturbed self-sustained oscillation, or they could be an example of deterministic chaos. Here, it is important to realize that, with a sampling period of 10 min over the considered periods of 20-24 h, the number of data points are insufficient for any statistical analysis to distinguish between the possible modes. We need to make a choice and, in the present case, our choice is to consider the insulin-glucose regulation to operate...
