Abstract: Many of the statistical methods used at the IAEA are based on estimates of the operator's and inspector's random and systematic error variances. These variances are used, e.g., in sampling plan design and to assess whether measurement methods used in nuclear material accounting comply with international standards.This paper considers the Grubbs estimators for the estimation of the operator's and inspector's random error variance. To evaluate the accuracy of these estimators, it is necessary to know the exact distribution of the estimators. These distributions have not yet been determined analytically or experimentally by simulations. This paper presents first steps towards closing this gap.
