1.1 The purpose of this practice is to present concepts necessary to the understanding of the terms "precision" and "bias" as used in quantitative test methods. This practice also describes methods of expressing precision and bias and, in a final section, gives examples of how statements on preci...

1.1 These test methods cover the determination of weight content of nonvolatile matter in two types of printing inks.

1.2 Test Method A is applicable to heatset-type printing inks and resin solutions; solvents in such systems typically have initial boiling points in the range from 240 to...

1.1 This practice provides a procedure for evaluating and comparing test methods under controlled conditions using the same materials tested during the same time span. The practice describes how to obtain and compare estimates on precision, sensitivity, and bias.

1.2 This practice covers ...

1.1 This guide covers the selection of procedures commonly used to establish a measurement of horizontal position during investigations of surface water bodies that are as follows:

Sections Procedure A-Manual Measurement 7 to 12 Procedure ...

1.1 This practice provides for the statistical evaluation of data obtained from spectrometrical methods of analysis. Included are definitions used in statistics, methods to determine variance and standard deviation of data, and calculations for (1) estimate of variance and pooling estimates of va...
