Title: Estimating Common Mean Curve in Interlaboratory Studies

Companies: University of Maryland
Address: Department of Math Stat, Baltimore, MD, 21250,
Keywords: meta-analysis ; statistical metrology
Abstract:

The primary goal of this work is to extend two methods of random effects models to situation when a consensus mean in a collaborative study is represented as a curve. These methods comprise the DerSimonian-Laird estimator, stemming from meta-analysis, and the Mandel-Paule algorithm widely used in metrological interlaboratory studies. The alternative estimators are also discussed. Two methods of assessing the uncertainty of these estimators and the resulting confidence bands are given.
