Determining the degree of equivalence participating laboratories from results measurement comparisons still prompts discussions among metrologists, especially where uncertainties have been underestimated. This paper expands on a solution to problem issued in 2020 by Journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry. The example illustrates an approach consensus-building based Bayesian selection st...

In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...
