LYMAN, G. et al. Bias testing of cross-belt samplers. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2010, vol.110, n.6, pp.289-298. ISSN 2411-9717.

The cross-belt sampler is a device that is very widely used even though it has not been ratified by the Standards associations. This paper is concerned with the bias testing of two cross-belt sampler designs against stopped belt samples and a cross-stream cutter at the belt end. The bias analysis is carried out using size distribution as the analyte and conventional t-testing and the Hotelling T squared test, which are compared for their effectiveness. The paper considers the issue of detectable bias and the statistical planning of bias tests.
