In seed lot acceptancesampling, the focus is on determining whether the level of impurity in a given seed lot is above or below a given threshold.
The probability calculations used in this application are based on standard lot acceptancesampling techniques using the binomial distribution.
The following definitions, based on standard acceptancesampling terminology in statistical quality control literature (e. g.
These basic lot acceptancesampling methods have been used in industry for many years.
Although the primary objective of seed lot acceptancesampling is to classify lots, estimating the lot impurity and putting confidence limits on this estimate are often desired.
This is one example of criteria that are used to establish testing plans; in practice the criteria will vary given the different objectives that exist for seed lot acceptancesampling.
Acceptancesampling concepts are further introduced here using examples.
