DATE: 2012 September 5

TITLE:

Statistical analysis of interlaboratory studies. XXXVII. Incremental collaborative studies.

AUTHOR: R. A. LaBudde ABSTRACT: Various experimental design are presented which break a traditional collaborative study into incremental modules that can be performed in sequence over time at individually lower cost. Such incremental collaborative studies would solve the enrollment problem often encountered, and would supply more reliable information than proficiency test studies.
