Popis: There are many chemical products where product conformity is decided upon by qualitative human judgements of overall product quality. Nowadays, quantitative instrumentally determined quality parameters become available which are intended to replace such qualitative judgements by means of automatic decision rules using multivariate specification limits. Six classification methods to derive such limits are compared in terms of their power to predict corresponding human judgemets on overall color conformity of 17 dyestuffs based on historical quality data. Standard statistical classification methods turned out to be unacceptable for the routine generation of decision rules because of the frequent distinct suboptimality of their predictive power. Instead, a simple non-statistical classification method utilizing a priori knowledge about the underlying data structure yielded uniformly satisfactory decision rules.
