Abstract
Applications of a new statistical method Ordinal Analysis of Variance (ORDANOVA) for interlaboratory comparisons of measurement or test results of semi-quantitative (ordinal) and qualitative (binary) properties are discussed. ORDANOVA can be helpful for validation of measurement or test methods, proficiency testing of laboratories, development of reference materials with certified semi-quantitative and qualitative properties, that is, probably in every field where ANOVA is applied for quantitative properties. A statistics and criteria are proposed for performance assessment of laboratories active in semi-quantitative and qualitative testing and for other purposes of statistical analysis of such test results.
