Faulty Inspection Distributions -- Some Generalizations.

Abstract

In a previous study the authors derived the distribution of the number of items observed to be defective in samples from a finite population, when detection is erroneous with a nonzero probability. The present report extends the previous results by taking into account incorrect identification of nondefectives as well as defectives. Corresponding waiting time distributions are also derived. Furthermore, the case of a stratified finite population corresponding, for example, to defective features of differing severity is considered. Numerical values illustrating the dependence of the corresponding probabilities on the two 'misidentification' parameters are presented.
