Re[2]: STATISTICAL FREE RELEASE RAD SURVEYING TECHNIQUES.

[sandy_perle@email.fpl.com]

     I am pleased to see this subject being discussed, and, a Manual being 
     developed for operational use. Having had the pleasure to study SQC 
     (Statistical Quality Control) from the JUSE (Japanese Union of 
     Scientists and Engineers) during FPL's attainment of the Deming Award, 
     I am a staunch believer in making decisions based on data. The key to 
     all of this, statistical analysis or not, is that the data used in the 
     decision making process MUST be good data, and well as valid data. 
     Again, the statistics is only as good as the data being evaluated.
     
     I have seen too many facilities take data and totally misuse the 
     statistics and arrive at the wrong conclusions. Statistics is OK, but 
     when the logic tells you that something is wrong, you better go back 
     and look at the data.
     
     I look forward to seeing more information on this Manual or 
     information as it progresses.
