Automation of evaluation of the interlaboratory comparisons results by means of software

Abstract

The number of interlaboratory comparisons of measurement results increase, and the number of their participants requires providers to automate data processing procedures. The article is devoted to developing software for the calculation automation and display of interlaboratory comparisons results. The article analyzes the existing software and identifies its main shortcomings. Peculiarities of the application of En, z and ξ criteria are considered. Features of using the Python programming language for calculations and data display are described. Using the example of conducted interlaboratory comparisons, the possibilities of the developed software for automating calculations and data analysis, and displaying results, are demonstrated.
