HOW TO USE THIS GUIDANCE Man-at-Desk 12
USING THE UNIFIED GUIDANCE • Design of a statistical monitoring system versus • • routine implementation Flexibility necessary in selecting methods Resolving issues may require coordination with the regulatory agency Later detailed methods based on early concept and design Chapters Each method has background, requirements and assumptions, procedure and a worked example 13
The Neumanns Alfred E. Neuman, Cover of MAD #30 John von Neumann, taken in the 1940’s 14
Temporal Variation [Chapter 14] Rank von Neumann Ratio Test Background & Purpose • A non-parametric test of first-order autocorrelation; an alternative to the autocorrelation function • Based on idea that independent data vary in a random but predictable fashion • Ranks of sequential lag-1 pairs are tested, using the sum of squared differences in a ratio • Low values of the ratio v indicative of temporal dependence • A powerful non-parametric test even with parametric (normal or skewed) data 15
Temporal Variation [Chapter 14] Rank von Neumann Ratio Test Requirement & Assumptions • An unresolved problem occurs when a substantial fraction of tied observations occurs • Mid-ranks are used for ties, but no explicit adjustment has been developed • Test may not be appropriate with a large fraction of non-detect data; most non-parametric tests may not work well • Many other non-parametric tests are also available in the statistical literature, particularly with normally distributed residuals following trend removal 16

DIAGNOSTIC TESTING Preliminary Data Plots [Chapter 9] 20
Additional Diagnostic Information • Data Plots [Chapter 9] – Indicate no likely outliers; data are roughly normal, symmetric and stationary with no obvious unequal variance across time (to be tested) • Correlation Coefficient Normality Test [Section 10. 6] r =. 99; p[r] >. 1 Accept Normality • Equality of Variance [Chapter 11] - see analyses below • Outlier Tests [Chapter 12]- not necessary • Spatial Variation [Chapter 13]–spatial variation not relevant for single variable data sets 21
Additional Diagnostic Information • Von Neumann Ratio Test [Section 14. 2. 4] ν = 1. 67 No first-order autocorrelation • Pearson Correlation of Arsenic vs. Time [p. 3 -12]; r =. 09 No apparent linear trend • One-Way ANOVA Test for Quarterly Differences [Section 14. 2. 2]; F = 1. 7, p(F) =. 22 Secondary ANOVA test for equal variance F =. 41; p(F) =. 748 No significant quarterly mean differences and equal variance across quarters 22
Additional Diagnostic Information • One-Way ANOVA Test for Annual Differences [Chapter 14]; F = 1. 96; p(F) =. 175 Secondary ANOVA test for equal variance F = 1. 11; p(F) =. 385 No significant annual mean differences and equal variance across years • Non-Detect Data [Chapter 15]– all quantitative data; evaluation not needed Conclusions • Arsenic data are satisfactorily independent temporally, random, normally distributed, stationary and of equal variance 23
ISSUES The Thinker, Musee Rodin in Paris 24
ISSUES OF INTEREST • • • RCRA REGULATORY STATISTICAL ISSUES DEVELOPING AND UPDATING BACKGROUND DATA USE OF SYSTEM-WIDE FALSE POSITIVE AND POWER CONTROL DESIGN APPROPRIATE HYPOTHESES, METHODS, STATISTICAL PARAMETERS, FALSE POSITIVE AND POWER LEVELS FOR COMPLIANCE MONITORING FIXED GWPS TESTING CHOICES OF PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC DISTRIBUTIONS USE OF OTHER STATISTICAL METHODS AND SOFTWARE, e. g. , Pro. UCL® 25
RCRA REGULATORY STATISTICAL ISSUES • Four-successive sample requirements and independent Sampling Data • Interim Status Indicator Testing Requirements • 1 & 5% Regulatory Testing Requirements • Use of ANOVA and Tolerance Intervals • April 2006 Regulatory Modifications 26
DEVELOPING AND UPDATING BACKGROUND DATA • In development (e. g. , permit or plan), consider • • all historical sample data Larger background sample sizes preferable Consider all diagnostic conditions, especially outliers For updating, need 4 -8 samples not significantly different (use a Student-t or Mann-Whitney test to check) Special considerations for repeat test data 27
USE OF SYSTEM-WIDE FALSE POSITIVE AND POWER CONTROL DESIGN • Applied to detection monitoring system design for • • • comparisons to background (or for two-sample background-type GWPS compliance tests) Uses a design 10% annual Sitewide False Positive Rate [SWFPR] apportioned to the number of annual statistical tests (number of wells, relevant constituents and annual test frequency) Reference power curves based on a 1 -of-1 prediction limit test 1, 2, or 4 times per year Fully developed for prediction limits, but applicable to tolerance interval and control chart detection tests 28
HYPOTHESES, METHODS, STATISTICAL PARAMETERS, FALSE POSITIVE AND POWER LEVELS FOR COMPLIANCE MONITORING FIXED GWPS TESTING • The guidance identifies testing hypotheses based • • on RCRA regulations; these may differ in other State and regulatory programs Choices of statistical parameter to compare to a GWPS variable Regulatory agency can determine significance and power criteria, perhaps on a program level 29
CHOICES OF PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC DISTRIBUTIONS • Under detection monitoring development, • • distribution choices are primarily determined by data patterns Different choices can result in a single system In compliance and corrective action monitoring, the regulatory agency may determine which parametric distribution is appropriate in light of how a GWPS should be interpreted 30
USE OF OTHER STATISTICAL METHODS AND SOFTWARE, e. g. , Pro. UCL® • The Unified Guidance provides a reasonable • • suite of methods, but by no means exhaustive Statistical literature references to other possible tests are provided The guidance suggests use of R-script and Pro. UCL for certain applications. Many other commercial and proprietary software may be available. 31
