Use of Controls and Other Control Chart Elements

In this fourth session of the Foundational Statistics for Forensic Toxicology series, we address common challenges, misconceptions, and questions encountered in day-to-day forensic toxicology laboratory settings related to statistics. Participants will gain insights into the practical application of statistical concepts and terminology in quality control and control charting, including trends and outliers. Furthermore, participants will learn about data interpretation, distinguishing between results that occur due to statistical significance and those the occur due to random variation.

This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on June 20, 2024. It is one of six webinars in the Foundational Statistics for Forensic Toxicology series.
