Statistical Manual of the AOAC
W.J. Youden, E.H. Steiner
Do-It-Yourself Statistical Techniques
for Interlaboratory Collaborative Tests
This manual is a composite, with revisions, of two publications—Statistical
Techniques for Collaborative Tests, by the late W.J. Youden
and Planning and Analysis of Results of Collaborative Tests,
by E.H. Steiner. The manual is to be used in the statistical analysis
of the results of interlaboratory collaborative tests such as
those required by AOAC INTERNATIONAL before adoption of analytical
methods as AOAC® Official MethodsSM.
The Youden portion, written as a "do it yourself" manual for
those who have little or no experience with formal statistics,
presents simple and flexible statistical techniques. It uses examples
related to familiar questions concerning the significance of apparent
differences among results.
The Steiner section presents guidelines for planning collaborative
tests and introduces the analysis of variance technique with examples
of how it may be used with interlaboratory tests.
