Product Description
Dr Gy, a pioneer in every sense of the word, has spent 50 years studying the best way to take a truly representative sample. His greatest achievement perhaps has been to introduce science into the black art of sampling. The now famous and widely used formula bearing his name means that sampling is no longer a lottery but an essential analytical tool. This very readable and practical book, written by Pierre Gy himself, is the first simple guide to Pierre Gys method to be translated into English. Although Dr Gys formula was originally developed for the sampling of solid material in mines, etc., the theoretical arguments are equally valid for the sampling of liquids and multi-phase media. This book is as interesting as a historical perspective as it is useful for the practising modern day analyst.

First Sentence:
It is a paradox that there are infallible physical tests that enable a real diamond to be distinguished from a valueless paste fake, whereas there is no method that enables a truly 'representative sample' to be distinguished from a 'specimen' which, because of the way it was collected, cannot be regarded as a reliable 'sample'. Read the first page Key Phrases - Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs): (learn more)
fractional shovelling, sample cutter, same statistical weight, fundamental variance, solid fragments, time sampling rate, proportional sampling, water meter, point increments, classical statistics Key Phrases - Capitalized Phrases (CAPs): (learn more)
