4.3 - Method Precision : The submitted data were statistically analyzed using the AOAC protocols for overall mean, intra- laboratory repeatability (S r ), repeatability relative standard deviation (RSD r ), inter-laboratory reproducibility (S R ), reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSD R ), and HorRat (1). Cochran (p= 0.025. 1-tail) Grubbs (single and double, p = 0.025, 2-tail) tests were utilized to determine outliers (2,3). The statistical analysis of results submitted by participants is given in Table 4. Only two sets of outliers one (KDOX966/ATAN351) from lab 7 and other (TJHR217/OACN211) from lab 8 were excluded as Cochran outlier, no other outliers were identified and all other results were used in the generation of precision values.
