Statistical Sampling for Process Assessments
نویسندگان
چکیده
ment programs, such as those based on the eSourcing Capability Model for Service Providers (eSCM-SP) and Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development (CMMIDEV), rely on a sample of engagements (or projects) in drawing conclusions about organizational capability. The intent is to determine the normal behavior in the organization based on a “representative” sample, but a rigorous definition of what characterizes a representative sample is usually not provided. The purpose of this article is to define in statistical terms, with explicitly stated assumptions, what a reasonable representative sample should be so a reliable characterization of organizational capability can be established. The analysis is illustrated in the context of the eSCM-SP but can be extended to other frameworks.

Economic-statistical Design of NP Control Chart with Variable Sample Size and Sampling Interval
The control charts are graphical tools and proven techniques to improve the performance of a process. Usually, the processes are not naturally controlled, so the use of control charts will help to reduce the variability and increase the stability of the process. In the traditional approach, control charts with fix sample size and constant sampling intervals were used to identify the changes in ...

Collateralized debt obligations, which are are securities with payoffs that are tied to the cash flows in a portfolio of defaultable assets such as corporate bonds, play a significant role in the financial crisis that has spread throughout the world. Insufficient capital provisioning due to flawed and overly optimistic risk assessments is at the center of the problem. This paper develops stocha...
متن کاملThe effect of clustering on lot quality assurance sampling: a probabilistic model to calculate sample sizes for quality assessments
BACKGROUND Traditional Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) designs assume observations are collected using simple random sampling. Alternatively, randomly sampling clusters of observations and then individuals within clusters reduces costs but decreases the precision of the classifications. In this paper, we develop a general framework for designing the cluster(C)-LQAS system and illustrate t...
متن کاملOn Matrix Sampling and Imputation of Context Questionnaires With Implications for the Generation of Plausible Values in Large-Scale Assessments
This article presents findings on the consequences of matrix sampling of context questionnaires for the generation of plausible values in large-scale assessments. Three studies are conducted. Study 1 uses data from PISA 2012 to examine several different forms of missing data imputation within the chained equations framework: predictive mean matching, Bayesian linear regression, and proportional...
متن کاملThe Effect of Observation Data Sampling Methods on Infiltration Areas by Maximum Entropy Model
Statistical modeling methods are based on multivariate regression methods and require the presence and absence location of data for the construction of the model. In most cases, there is no trustworthy absence data. Therefore, other methods that are based only on the presence of the phenomenon are used. Considering the importance of modeling - saving time and cost and the probable prediction of...
