Abstract:
1. A method of validating the performance of a statistical testing system using directed design of experiments (DOE), the method comprising: recording an input data set in a memory location that is accessible by a host machine, wherein the input data set describes a set of observed probability of hit (POH) data for a plurality of samples as a function of a characteristic of the samples; processing the input data set using the host machine to thereby generate an output data set having an optimal class width; assigning a case number to the output data set; and generating a set of instructions using the assigned case number; wherein the instructions validate the performance of the testing system when the assigned case number equals a predetermined case number, and wherein the instructions inform a user of the testing system regarding required steps for validating the testing system when the assigned case number does not equal the predetermined case number.
