Abstract:
A method for analyzing a quality control regimen comprising M quality control tests Ti wherein i is=M a finite positive integer&gE;1, wherein each quality control test Ti is applied to a population P at a sampling rate Ri generating test data Di, the method comprising:(a) determining for each of the quality control tests Ti, a CPi and CPKi, wherein Cpi is a measure of the spread of data Di, and wherein CPK is a measure of the magnitude of how close &mgr;i is to the closer of Ui or Li, wherein Ui, Li, and &mgr;i, are repectively, the upper limit, lower limit, and mean for Di; (b) adjusting one or more of Ri, Ui or Li, for at least one of the tests Ti.
