Abstract:

Objective To investigate the feasibility of adaptive Monte Carlo method(aMCM)for top-down uncertainty assessment. Methods In case of uncertainty assessment based on top-down assessment in clinical laboratories,aMCM was used for verification. If the absolute difference between aMCM and top-down assessment results was less than the specified numerical tolerance,the verification was passed. The aMCM verification program was developed by MatLab software. Results The absolute difference between the results evaluated by aMCM and the top-down assessment was less than the specified numerical tolerance,and the top-down assessment was verified by aMCM. Conclusions The established aMCM can be used to verify the uncertainty evaluation results of the top-down assessment.
