Some aspects of the reliability of chemical analyses

The reliability of a chemical analytical method is a composite property of the method. This composite property may be resolved into four more elementary properties which may be designated as ( 1) specificity, ( 2) accuracy, ( 3) precision, and ( 4) sensitivity.

Summary:The reliability of a chemical analytical method is a composite property of the method. This composite property may be resolved into four more elementary properties which may be designated as ( 1) specificity, ( 2) accuracy, ( 3) precision, and ( 4) sensitivity. It is desirable to define these terms technically, to elucidate some of their interrelationships and, wherever possible, to assign an appropriate statistical parameter to each property.
