Abstract:

A procedure for the analysis of key comparison data is proposed in the case where the travelling standard shows a deterministic or random drift. It is assumed that some parametric model such as a linear trend is appropriate for modelling the deterministic part of the drift. The random part of the drift is assumed to be adequately described by a random walk model. The chosen drift model is determined by least squares and a model check is carried out. If the model check is satisfied, the derived drift model is applied to determine degrees of equivalence. A star-type sequence is required for the comparison in order to check the adequacy of the random drift model. The procedure is illustrated by its application to simulated data.

Keywords: key comparison; stability; random walk; least squares
