Abstract:
* When evaluating the precision of a method it is necessary to assess the repeatability (within-run) and the total or within-laboratory precision. * It is insufficient to assess repeatability in a single run. * Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document EP05-A2 describes the protocols for determining the precision of a method. The precision of a method should be tested at at-least two levels; each run in duplicate, with two runs per day over 20 days. CLSI document EP15-A2 describes the protocols that should be undertaken by the user to verify precision claims by a manufacturer. Precision claims by a manufacturer should be tested at at-least two levels, by running three replicates over five days. * A spreadsheet for assisting with the calculations described in this article is available from the AACB web-site.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
