Summary of Practice4.1 Validating an empirically derived multivariate calibra-tion (model) consists of four major procedures: validation atinitial development, revalidation at initial deployment or aftera revision, ongoing periodic revalidation, and qualificat

Significance and Use5.1 This practice outlines a universally applicable procedureto validate the performance of a quantitative or qualitative,empirically derived, multivariate calibration r

25、tivariatecalibration with options for specifying validation requirementsto ensure that the system is capable of providing estimationswith an appropriate degree of agreement with an acceptedreference method.5.4 This practice provides the user of a measurement systemthat incorporates an empirically de

26、rived multivariate calibra-tion with procedures capable of providing information that maybe useful for ongoing quality assurance of the performance ofthe measurement system.5.5 Validation information obtained in the application ofthis practice is applicable only to the material type and propertyrang

27、e of the materials used to perform the validation and onlyfor the individual measurement system on which the practice iscompletely applied. It is the users responsibility to select theproperty levels and the compositional characteristics of thevalidation samples such that they are suitable to the ap

28、plica-tion. This practice allows the user to write a comprehensivevalidation statement for the analyzer system including specificlimits for the validated range of application and specificrestrictions to the permitted uses of the measurement system.Users are cautioned against extrapolation of validat

29、ion resultsbeyond the material type(s) and property range(s) used toobtain these results.5.6 Users are cautioned that a validated empirically derivedmultivariate calibration is applicable only to samples that fallwithin the subset population represented in the validation set.The estimation from an e

30、mpirically derived multivariate cali-bration can only be validated when the applicability of thecalibration is explicitly established for the particular measure-ment for which the estimation is produced. Applicabilitycannot be assumed.6. Methods and Considerations6.1 When validating an empirically d

31、erived multivariatecalibration, it is the responsibility of the user to describe themeasurement system and the required level of agreementbetween the estimations produced by the calibration and theaccepted reference method(s).6.2 When validating a measurement system incorporatingan empirically deriv

32、ed multivariate calibration, it is the respon-sibility of the user to satisfy the requirements of any applicabletests specific to the measurement system including any Instal-lation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), andPerformance Qualification (PQ) requirements; which may bemandate

33、d by competent regulatory authorities, an applicableQuality Assurance (QA), or Standard Operating Procedure(SOP) or be recommended by the instrument or equipmentmanufacturer.6.3 Reference Values and Quality Controls for the AcceptedReference Method:6.3.1 The reference (or true) value which is compar

34、ed witheach respective estimate produced by the empirically derivedmultivariate calibration is established by applying an acceptedreference method, the characteristics of which are known andstated, to the sample from which the measurement systemderives the measurement.6.3.2 To ensure the reliability

35、 of the reference valuesprovided by an accepted reference method, appropriate qualitycontrols should be applied to the accepted reference method.7. Procedure7.1 The objective of the validation procedure is to quantifythe performance of an empirically derived multivariate calibra-tion in terms of, in

36、 the case of quantitative calibrations,precision, accuracy and bias or, in the case of qualitativecalibrations, Positive Fraction Identified and Negative FractionIdentified relative to an accepted reference method for eachproperty of interest. The user must specify, based on theintended use of the c

37、alibration, acceptable precision and bias orPositive Fraction Identified and Negative Fraction Identifiedperformance criteria before initiating the validation. Thesecriteria will be dependent on the intended use of the analyzerand may be based, all or in part, on risk based criteria.E26170827.1.1 Th

38、e acceptable performance criteria specified by theuser may be constant over the entire range of sample variabil-ity.Alternatively, different acceptable performance criteria maybe specified by the user for different sub-ranges of the fullsample variability.7.2 Validation of calibration is accomplishe

39、d by using thecalibration to estimate the property(s) of a set of validationsamples and statistically comparing the estimates for thesesamples to known reference values. Validation requires thor-ough testing of the model with a sufficient number of repre-sentative validation samples to ensure that i

40、t performs ad-equately over the entire range of possible sample variability.7.3 Initial Validation Sample Set:7.3.1 For the initial validation of a multivariate model, anideal validation sample set will:7.3.1.1 Contain samples that provide sufficient examples ofall combinations of variation in the s

41、ample properties whichare expected to be present in the samples which are to beanalyzed using the calibration;7.3.1.2 Contain samples for which the ranges of variation inthe sample properties is comparable to the ranges of variationexpected for samples that are to be analyzed using the model;7.3.1.3

42、 Contain samples for which the respective variationsof the sample properties are uniformly and mutually indepen-dently distributed over their full respective ranges or, whenapplicable, subranges of variation; and7.3.1.4 Contain a sufficient number of samples to statisti-cally test the relationships

43、between the measured variables andthe properties that are modeled by the calibration.7.3.2 For simple systems, sufficient validation samples cangenerally be obtained to meet the criteria in 7.3.1.1-7.3.1.4. Forcomplex mixtures, obtaining an ideal validation set may bedifficult if not impossible. In

44、such cases, it may be necessary tovalidate discrete subranges of the calibration incrementally,over time as samples become available.7.3.3 The number of samples needed to validate a calibra-tion depends on the complexity of the calibration, the ranges ofproperty variation over which the calibration

45、is to be applied,and the degree of confidence required. It is important tovalidate a calibration with as many samples as possible tomaximize the likelihood of challenging the calibration withrarely occurring, but potentially troublesome samples. Thenumber and range of validation samples should be su

46、fficient tovalidate the calibration to the statistical degree of confidencerequired for the application. In all cases, a minimum of 20validation samples is recommended. In addition, the validationsamples should:7.3.3.1 Multivariately span the ranges of sample propertyvalues over which the calibratio

47、n will be used; that is, the spanand the standard deviation of the ranges of sample propertyvalues for the validation samples should be at least 100 % ofthe spans of the sample property values over which thecalibration will be used, and the sample property values for thevalidation samples should be

48、distributed as uniformly aspossible throughout their respective ranges, and the variationsof the sample property values among the samples should be asmutually independent as possible; and7.3.3.2 Span the ranges of the independent variables overwhich the calibration will be used; that is, if the rang

49、e of anindependent variable is expected to vary from a to b, and thestandard deviation of the independent variable is c, then thevariations of that independent variable in the set of validationsamples should cover at least 100 % of the range from a to b,and should be distributed as uniformly as possible across therange such that the standard deviation in that independentvariable estimated for the validation samples will be at least95 % of c.(1) When validating a calibration for which detection limitor quantification limit is an important consideration, the usershould
