Observed Statistical Risks in Inspection for Quality & Reliability
Abstract
This paper presents the concept of observed risks. These risks are determined after the statistical inspection tests of quality or reliability, so they depend on the test results. They allow evaluating probability of erroneous decisions (risks) after the test, not before it as it is traditionally done. We give the main properties of the observed risks. Numerical examples illustrate the suggested concept and demonstrate its usefulness.
