Sequential Analysis: A Method for Establishing Reliable Results of Deck Wetness Performance

Abstract

This report describes, in some detail, two statistical tests which are designed to be used when carrying out experiments to measure rarely occurring events such as deck wetness. These tests will help to establish more reliable wetness frequency results. The report describes the theory involved and, by considering two examples of wetness results, shows how the theory is applied. The mean wetness frequency of the results from each tank can be approximated by a normal distribution, each having its own mean and standard deviation. The examples in this report have shown that a reduction in run length for experiments to measure deck wetness is possible by using the tests described.
