Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Statistics

Background:

  • The HorRat value assesses the reproducibility precision of analytical methods relative to the Horwitz equation.
  • Accurate assessment of reproducibility is crucial for reliable collaborative studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide tools for Study Directors to determine worst-case scenarios for method reproducibility.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two formulas for calculating future HorRat upper limits.
  • Utilized a Monte Carlo simulation procedure with Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software for accuracy assessment.
  • Defined empirical HorRat limits as 1-tailed 100p% upper limits.

Main Results:
