Abstract

This document provides the “tedious mathematical details” for OAWG Track B Key Comparisons – that is, this document presents and discusses the statistical approaches involved in the design of Track B studies and analysis of the resulting data. This document is not required reading for an adequate appreciation of the conclusions drawn from the CCQM K79 “Comparison of value-assigned CRMs and PT materials: ethanol in aqueous matrix” and CCQM K80 “Comparison of value-assigned CRMs and PT materials: creatinine in human serum” studies. This document is a necessary adjunct to the CCQM K79 and/or –K80 reports for anyone seeking to understand and/or critique the design and analysis of these studies and it is recommended reading for anyone who wishes to propose or coordinate another OAWG Track B study.
