Abstract

NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM) are certified reference materials that are developed at NIST and provided to laboratories (industry, government and academia) for assessment and improvement of measurement quality. SRM 1508a, is re-certified to update values was evaluated at the Statistical Engineering Division at NIST using several different statistical models. The recertification is based on combining of the measurement results in subsets at each level varying due to use of different measurement methods and/or years. For statistical analysis, we decided to treat levels separately and to consider each of five method/year combinations as individual subset. In this study, we considered several different statistical models and corresponding estimators for the certified value, its uncertainty and the corresponding 2 sigma coverage interval.
