Continuous Improvement in Continuous Quality Control

Through computer simulation-derived power curves, Cembrowski et al. found that the statistical power of AON was most strongly influenced by the ratio of the SD ofpatients' results to the analytical SD (Sp/sJ); number of data points averaged or block size (N); control limits; and proportion of t...

Summary:Through computer simulation-derived power curves, Cembrowski et al. found that the statistical power of AON was most strongly influenced by the ratio of the SD ofpatients' results to the analytical SD (Sp/sJ); number of data points averaged or block size (N); control limits; and proportion of the population lying outside of the truncation limits (11). [...]Ng et al. found that ANPed generally decreased with increasing magnitude of error, as one would expect, but paradoxically rose in some cases, owing to an increasing number of truncated results.
