Description / Abstract:
1. Scope
1.1 This guide is intended to assist task groups in the preparation of
a test method. It can help the task group use existing statistically
related ASTM practices more effectively during the development and
writing of the test method.
1.2 Some of the essential activities that should occur during the
development of a new test method are not in existing or proposed
practices under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee D13.93 on
Statistics. This guide includes a brief explanation of how such
activities should be carried out.
1.3 This guide is applicable to properties that are evaluated by both
parametric and nonparametric methods of estimation. The instructions
on properties that are best evaluated by nonparametric methods are
less complete than those for properties that are evaluated by
parametric methods.
