Sample Size, GSD, Exceedance Fraction, and LOQ/OEL Effects on Compliance Decision

Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center 

This study evaluates the effects of sample size, GSD, exceedance fraction (EF), and the LOQ/OEL ratio on compliance decision accuracy. A dataset containing various scenarios was generated using computer simulations. Bayesian statistical methods assuming a lognormal distribution were then applied to model compliance decision accuracy based on the proportion of correct decisions under different conditions.
