4 Statistical data treatment in Intercind is INSPIRED by ISO 13528/2015 and IUPAC Guidelines Peculiarities of INTERCIND 1) Natural matrixes (unkwn concentration) 2) Replicates (accuracy&precision) 3) Statistical treatment (Determination of extremes and outliers with n-parametric method) PTP 0007 The interlaboratory circuit is organized in agreement with international guidelines relative to the organization and management of interlaboratory circuits UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17043: 2010

8 determination assigned value From: Piotr Robouch (JRC) - 9th International Workshop on Proficiency Testing (9-12 October 2017, Portoroz, Slovenia)

9 Determination of assigned values What is the most likely TRUE value? What are the UGLY data? What are the BAD data? number of laboratories median average 2,3,7,8, TeCDF (ng/g) The Bad The Good The Ugly In particular the main first step is to identify main errors due to: misreporting, rough errors, instrumental mistakes. Of course considering that error ise on data is always unavoidable.

10 definition of outliers for data x i,k, : 1-7th Cind 2 > x s xi, k, x i, k, > + 2 x s In case of data more disperse the method needed double application. The problem defining outliers Mean- 2SD <0.01 <0.5 <1 Mean-SD <1.5 <2 <2.5 <3 Mean <3.5 <4 <4.5 <5 Mean+SD <5.5 <6 <6.5 <7 <7.5 Mean+ 2SD <8 <8.5 <9 <9.5 These are NOT defined as ouliers These are defined as ouliers

18 Robust method?

19 Robust method? The Intercind methodology is simple, easy to understand, robust with up to 20% of extreme (infinity []) values. Do we want to have robust estimates by consensus from data in which > 20% are absurd?
