Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEquation 6 was corrected editorially in March 2010.INTRODUCTIONRecent improvements in the

3、 precision and bias of color-measuring instruments have beenaccompanied by more widespread use of numerical color tolerances based on instrumental measure-ments. As tighter tolerances are specified, they begin to approach the limits of visual perception. Inmany cases, the instrument user has found i

4、t difficult to prepare and measure specimens with adequaterepeatability. This practice provides procedures for reducing variability in the mean results of colormeasurement by the use of multiple measurements, and it indicates how many measurements arerequired for a specific reduction.1. Scope1.1 Red

5、uction of the variability associated with averagecolor or color-difference measurements of object-color speci-mens is achieved by statistical analysis of the results ofmultiple measurements on a single specimen, or by measure-ment of multiple specimens, whichever is appropriate.1.2 This practice pro

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice assumes that, for the material underconsideration and a specified set of color scales, relevant coloror color-difference tolerances have been established (see Prac-tice D3134).4.2 For convenience, the numerical example in the Appen-dix uses CIEL

22、AB LCH (lightness, chroma, hue) color differ-ence scales DL*, DC*ab, and DH*ab(see Practice D2244 andPractice E308), but this is not meant to be restrictive.NOTE 1Some coordinates, such as CIE x, y, Y, do not follow thetheories of this standard due to excessive colinearity. While it has not beentest

23、ed, this same colinearity problem may also be observed in 1960 u, vand 1976 u8,v8 coordinates. Table 1 provides a listing of the appropriateand inappropriate color coordinates for use with this practice.4.3 The successive steps in the procedure are as follows:4.3.1 Determine the standard deviation o

28、r. Many programs for the box and whisker techniqueare available.44.4.1.1 Order the readings from lowest to highest value. Thereading whose value is half way between the minimum andmaximum values is the median. Fig. 1 illustrates the followingsteps.4.4.1.2 The reading whose value is just less than 75

29、 % of theother readings is the lower hinge. The readings whose value isjust higher than 75 % of the other readings is the upper hinge.The difference between these two is the hinge length H.4.4.1.3 If the smallest value of any reading is less than thelower hinge value minus 1.5 times the hinge length

30、, it may beconsidered an outlier. Likewise, if the largest value of anyreading is greater than the upper hinge value plus 1.5 times thehinge length, it may be considered an outlier.4.4.1.4 If the smallest (largest) value of any reading is less(greater) than the lower (upper) hinge value minus (plus)

31、 3.0times the hinge length, it may be considered an extreme value.4.4.2 Practice E178 ProcedureThe test for outliers inPractice E178 is constructed from the sample mean Xavg, andthe standard deviation s.4.4.2.1 Order the readings from lowest to highest value.4.4.2.2 Calculate the following two stati

32、stics, T1for thelowest value, and Tnfor the highest value in a set of n orderedreadings as follows:Tl5xavg xl!s(4)Tn5xn xavg!S(5)4.4.2.3 Compare the values of Tl(Tn) to critical values inTable 2.IfTl(Tn) is larger than the critical value for n readingsat the 1 % level of significance. Reading 1 (n)

33、may beconsidered an outlier.NOTE 3Table 2 contains critical values for series of up to 15 readingsand for 0.1 and 1 % significance levels. For other significance levels andlarger datasets, see Table 1 of Practice E178.4.4.2.4 If Tl(Tn) is larger than the critical value for nreadings at the 1 % level

34、 of significance, Readings 1 (n) may beconsidered an extreme value.4.4.3 If any outliers or extreme values were found, considercarefully whether they should be dropped or retained. Dropthose readings not considered to be part of the desired dataset,by whatever consistent criteria are accepted. See 5

35、.3.4.4.4 Recalculate the mean, standard deviation and confi-dence limits of the remaining dataset.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice should be used whenever measured color-scale or color-difference-scale values are to be compared to anestablished tolerance. In this way it can be demonstratedqu

36、antitatively that the sampling and measurement proceduresare adequate to allow an unambiguous decision as to whetheror not the mean results are within tolerance.5.2 This practice is based on portions of SAE J 1545,asitapplies to painted or plastic automotive parts. It is generallyapplicable to objec

37、t colors in various materials. Texturedmaterials, such as textiles, may require special consideration(see SAE J 1545 and STP 15D Manual on Presentation of Dataand Control Chart Analysis5).5.3 While Practice E178 deals with outliers, it does notinclude definitions relating to the box and whisker tech

38、nique.The definition of an outlier is operational and a little vaguebecause there is still considerable disagreement about whatconstitutes an outlier. In any normally distributed population,there will be members that range from minus to plus infinity.Theoretically, one should include any member of t

39、he popula-tion in any sample based on estimates of the populationparameters. Practically, including a member that is found farfrom the mean within a small sample, most members of whichare found near the mean, will introduce a systematic bias intothe estimate of the population parameters (mean, stand

40、arddeviation, standard error). Such a bias is in direct contrast withthe goal of this practice, namely, to reduce the effects ofvariability of measurement. For the purposes of this practice,no distinction is made between errors of sampling and mem-bers of the tails of the distribution. Practice E178

41、 has severalmethods and significance tables to attempt to differentiatebetween these two types of extreme values.6. Procedure6.1 Determine the standard deviation of instrument, si,bycarrying out the appropriate color measurement at least 10times (n = 10) when using a stable product standard as thesp

42、ecimen, without removing or disturbing the specimen be-tween measurements. Calculate siby the use of Eq 2. Thisdetermination should be carried out for each color scale usedand for each product with a new color; however, siis unlikelyto change appreciably over relatively extended periods.6.1.1 Screen

43、 the measurement data for outliers and extremevalues following 4.4.1-4.4.4.6.2 Select maximum allowable values of the standard errorof the estimated mean, as a fraction of the tolerance and as amultiple of the standard deviation of instrument.

46、ce and 2si. These valuesare used in Appendix X1.NOTE 4This practice assumes that all measurements are subject to thecentral limit theorem of mathematical statistics, so that as the number ofreplicate or repeat measurements becomes large, the distribution of valuesis described by the standard normal

47、distribution. It has been shown,6,7however, that averages of large numbers of measurements of a verificationstandard on a properly maintained spectrophotometer are not approxi-mated by the standard normal distribution. As a result, tests anchored to simay exhibit a significance or a power dependence

48、 different from thatwhich is expected.6.3 Determine the standard deviation of color or color-difference measurement, s, by making the appropriate measure-ment at least 10 times (n = 10), as follows:6.3.1 To assess the variability within a single specimen,measure the same specimen at ten or more rand

49、omly selecteddifferent areas of the specimen.6.3.1.1 Screen the measurement data for outliers and ex-treme values following 4.4.1-4.4.4.6.3.2 To assess the variability among specimens, measure atleast ten replicate specimens.6.3.2.1 Screen the measurement data for outliers and ex-treme values following 4.4.1-4.4.4.6.4 Determine the standard error of the estimated mean, se,for a sampling number of one, using Eq 3. Note that for N =1,se= s. Use the larger of the values of s determined in 6.3.1 or6.3.2.6.5 Compare the value of seto 0.1 times the
