TI  - Lot quality assurance sampling: single- and double-sampling plans.
PG  - 115-32
AB  - Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was originally developed for industrial 
      applications. This article discusses the extension of its application to a public 
      health setting. When resources must be allocated to several communities based on 
      whether or not each exceeds a target proportion of members with a characteristic, 
      a sampling scenario arises which is different to the standard parameter 
      estimation scenario. LQAS is an efficient procedure for sampling in this 
      instance. Under certain conditions, double sampling may further enhance the 
      efficiency of an LQAS plan. LQAS is discussed and illustrated by examples, and 
      the theoretical foundations of single and double lot quality assurance sampling 
      are presented. Examples of sample size and critical value tables are also 
      presented.
