METRICA, l’archivio istituzionale della produzione scientifica dell’Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, conservare e pubblicare, anche ad accesso aperto, i prodotti della ricerca dell’Ente. METRICA utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da Cineca.
EnglishWhen components of a substance or material are subject to a mass balance constraint, test results of the components’ contents are intrinsically correlated because of the constraint. This so-called ‘spurious’ correlation is observed in addition to possible metrologically-related correlation of test results, and natural and/or technological correlation of the components’ contents. Such correlations may influence understanding of test results and evaluation of risks of false decisions, due to measurement uncertainty, in conformity assessment of the substance or material. The objective of the present paper is the development of a technique for appropriate evaluation of the risks. A Bayesian multivariate approach to evaluate the conformance probability of materials or objects and relevant risks is discussed for different scenarios of the data modelling, taking into account all observed correlations. A Monte Carlo method, including the mass balance constraint, written in the R programming environment, is provided for the necessary calculations.

| Abstract: | When components of a substance or material are subject to a mass balance constraint, test results... of the components’ contents are intrinsically correlated because of the constraint. This so-called ‘spurious’ correlation is observed in addition to possible metrologically-related correlation of test results, and natural and/or technological correlation of the components’ contents. Such correlations may influence understanding of test results and evaluation of risks of false decisions, due to measurement uncertainty, in conformity assessment of the substance or material. The objective of the present paper is the development of a technique for appropriate evaluation of the risks. A Bayesian multivariate approach to evaluate the conformance probability of materials or objects and relevant risks is discussed for different scenarios of the data modelling, taking into account all observed correlations. A Monte Carlo method, including the mass balance constraint, written in the R programming environment, is provided for the necessary calculations. | |
