Open Descriptive Statistics

Every descriptive statistic and every UCL method is compared against USEPA ProUCL and R EnvStats. The two censored-data estimators are compared against their own references: Kaplan-Meier against ProUCL, robust ROS against NADA. The recommended UCL is the one ProUCL 5.2 prints under "Suggested UCL to Use", following the decision logic in Appendix C of the ProUCL 5.2 Technical Guide, and it is compared against that printed suggestion for both uncensored and censored data. For uncensored data ProUCL 5.2 suggests only Student's t, Land's H and the two gamma UCLs; it no longer suggests a Chebyshev or bootstrap UCL. In a sweep of 1,015 uncensored datasets run through ProUCL 5.2, the toolkit names the same method on all but one, where the two Shapiro-Wilk statistics fall either side of the critical value. ProUCL applies a separate decision tree to censored data: it fits the distribution to the detected results only and recommends only Kaplan-Meier methods; the toolkit matches it on all 60 censored datasets measured. A January 2023 review of ProUCL 5.2 prepared for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection noted that, according to the simulations in the Technical Guide, the 5.2 suggestion can give coverage of about 80% rather than 95% for skewed data with small samples, and recommended continued use of ProUCL 5.1. The toolkit follows ProUCL 5.2 and shows every candidate UCL, including the Chebyshev limits, so a reviewer can choose another with reasons.

Why these differ: A small sample with a low fitted shape: n = 10 and k star = 0.217, so the approximate gamma UCL rests on a chi-square quantile with about 4.3 degrees of freedom. The toolkit's value is +1.1% against ProUCL's here. ProUCL's chi-square quantile was measured to lose accuracy as the degrees of freedom fall (3.3e-3 relative at about 7); whether that accounts for all of this difference has not been confirmed.

Why these differ: This dataset sits on the 1% Shapiro-Wilk critical value of 0.814. The toolkit's W (Royston's AS R94, the algorithm R implements) is 0.8198, a pass; ProUCL's W, which is not AS R94, falls just below the cutoff, a fail. Lilliefors fails in both. ProUCL 5.2 takes the normal branch when either test passes, so the toolkit calls the sample approximately normal and suggests Student's t, where ProUCL goes on to gamma and the adjusted gamma UCL. The decision rules agree; the Shapiro-Wilk statistics do not, and this is the one dataset in the 1,015-dataset sweep where that changes the answer.
