German term or phrase:Schlechtmuster
In a document detailing a procedure for testing batches of pharmaceuticals. "Wenn die Proben nur mit ENTSPRICHT / ENTSPRICHT NICHT beurteilt werden können, so sind 6 der Proben als Schlechtmuster auszuführen." Apart from the obvious "bad sample" (and then "good sample"), are there other standard terms used in testing terminology?
Explanation: Go/no-go decisions, so-called Bernoulli trials
Attribute acceptance sampling makes ‘go/no-no’ decisions about entities. The basis for these decisions are observations on specific items which can be by variable (i.e. quantitatively), but more generally are by any attribute of the entities (which includes even qualitative and ordinal observations). http://metrology.wordpress.com/statistical-methods-index/bas...
would like to use a reduced-tolerance go/no-go gage in order to reduce the sample size. Essentially they would like to provide a 70%, 85%, and 100% gage. All parts are tested first with the 70% gage. If they fail, then the 85%, and so on. http://elsmar.com/Forums/archive/index.php/t-23937.html
In the course of late stage drug development, a phase II/III program faces a series of sample size planning and decision problems: the simultaneous sample size determination (SSD) for phase II and III trials at the program planning stage, the phase II go/no-go decisions, and the SSD of phase III trials incorporating phase II data. http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2011/onlineprogram/Abstra...
