Version 2.0 Visual Sample Plan (VSP): Models and Code Verification

[摘要] Visual Sample Plan (VSP) is an easy-to-use visual and graphic software tool being developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to select the right number and location of environmental samples so that the results of statistical tests performed to provide input to environmental decisions have the required confidence and performance. It is a significant help in implementing the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) planning process that was developed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Gilbert et al. (2001) documented the quality assurance (QA) procedures that were conducted to assure that Version 0.91 of VSP was operating correctly. Subsequently, Version 0.91 was renamed Version 1.0 and placed on the internet at http://dqo.pnl.gov/vsp . Since that time VSP has been enlarged and improved and is now available as Version 2.0. The current document is an expansion of Gilbert et al (2001) to include the QA procedures and testing that were conducted to assure the validity and accuracy of the new features added to Version 1.0 to obtain Version 2.0.
