Quality Assessment with SERI_QC

Table 1. Flagging Convention for SERI_QC

Flag	Description
00	Untested (raw data)
01	Passed one-component test; data fall within min-max limits of Kt, Kn, or Kd
02	Passed two-component test; data fall within 0.03 of the Gompertz boundaries
03	Passed three-component test; data come within ± 0.03 of satisfying   Kt=Kn+Kd
04	Passed visual inspection; not used by SERI_QC
05	Failed visual inspection; not used by SERI_QC
06	Value estimated; passes all pertinent SERI_QC test
07	Failed one-component test; lower than allowed minimum
08	Failed one-component test; higher than allowed maximum
09	Passed three-component test but failed two-component test by > 0.05
10-93	Failed two- or three-component tests in one of four ways.   To determine the test failed and the manner of failure (high or low),   examine the remainder of the calculation (flag + 2)/4.     REM               Failure                                                             0         Parameter too low by three-component test (Kt=Kn+Kd)       1         Parameter too high by three-component test (Kt=Kn+Kd)       2         Parameter too low by two-component test (Gompertz boundaries)       3         Parameter too high by two-component test (Gompertz boundaries)   The magnitude of the test failure (distance in K-units) is determined from:     d = (INT (flag +2)/4)/100.
94-97	Data fall into a physically impossible region where Kn > Kt by K-space distances of   0.05 to 0.10 (94), 0.10 to 0.15 (95), 0.15 to 0.20 (96) amd ± 0.20 (97).
98	Not used
99	Missing data
