Accurate Estimation of Standard Deviations for Quantitative Methods Used in Clinical Chemistry

Robert W. Burnett 1

1 Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn. 06115.

Although the standard deviation is the most widely used measure of the precision of quantitative methods, there is a need to re-examine the conditions necessary to obtain a meaningful estimate of this quantity. The importance of the material to be sampled, the sample size, the calculation of confidence intervals, and the segregation of outliers are discussed.


Key Words: statistics • outliers
