Calculation of the confidence bounds for the fraction nonconforming of normal populations of measurements in clinical laboratory medicine

A T Hatjimihail

Abstract

The fraction nonconforming is a key quality measure used in statistical quality control design in clinical laboratory medicine. The confidence bounds of normal populations of measurements for the fraction nonconforming each of the lower and upper quality specification limits when both the random and the systematic error are unknown can be calculated using the noncentral t-distribution, as it is described in detail and illustrated with examples.
