A comparative study of statistical methods used in analyzing the proficiency testing results of yield stress

Abstract: The proficiency test (PT) is a powerful tool to help a laboratory to demonstrate its competence. The statistical analysis used plays very important role in the PT results. This paper demonstrates two PT numerical examples for tensile test using different statistical methods in their analysis. The study shows that zeta score and the normalized error value (E n ) give representative impression about the consistency of the results with regarding the claimed laboratories uncertainties. The robust z-score value giv… Show more

“…Asia Pacific Metrology Programme organized the proficiency testing (PT) programme on pesticide residues in tea as a joint initiative of the Technical Committee for Amount of Substance (TCQM) and the Developing Economies Committee. PT is defined as one of powerful tool to help laboratory to demonstrate such competence to an accreditation body or other third party and also enables laboratory to monitor their test over time [22]. The Division of Analytical Chemistry and Standard laboratory participated on the PT programme as one of 42 laboratories participant.…”

“…The purpose of providing a normalized performance evaluation is to make all PT results comparable [23]. Laboratory performance was assessed by comparing reported test result to the assigned value using both Z-scores that is widely used in the evaluation of laboratory biased and En-Scores, [19][20][22][23][24][25]. A Z-score is the ratio of the bias estimate and the target value for the standard deviation of the result [25].…”

“…5. As the basis determination takes the middle value of the sorted results, the influence of outlier results is minimal; in some cases, it could be avoided (Hegazy, Mohamed and Abu-Sinna, 2010). Interestingly, although the gap of the median from participant 1 to the other four participants has the same value with the gap due to the average value, the different performance criteria are resulted by participant 1.…”
