Data Validation, Analysis and Weighting Sample Clauses

Data Validation, Analysis and Weighting a) The data received from the interviewer teams must be booked-in, and checks carried out that the correct duty has been completed. The available data sets must be checked for consistency to ensure that mismatching does not occur at the editing stage. Checks that all expected data is present, by comparison with Oyster driver duty data, as appropriate where available are necessary. If mismatching occurs agreed actions must be taken to rectify it. b) A high level of control is needed to ensure that the correct driver duties whether from the original sample or as replaced duties, are surveyed. Currently a database of the sampled duties is held by the contractor and updated quarterly. c) Oyster data for each survey driver duty is used to match against survey data collected for each allocation. This provides the basis for the initial allocation level. d) The Client will have access to Bus Oyster/ Contactless payment cards (CPC) journey data, at a driver duty level and at a network level, via their Oyster Central Data System. This data will be available to the tenderer; on a regular basis for the driver duty Oyster/CPC data by a direct link and on a quarterly basis for network Oyster/CPC data sent direct by the Client. These will be used in conjunction with survey data to calculate overall journey volumes as accurately as possible. e) The focus of this survey will be on estimating journeys for non-Oyster/ CPC categories. The non-Oyster/CPC journeys include magnetic tickets, free under 11 passes, National Concessionary Bus passes are treated as non Oyster cards. f) Weighting is then undertaken using the ratio of driver duty Oyster data to surveyed Oyster data. This ratio is then applied to both non Oyster and Oyster data to obtain a total count of passengers on each surveyed driver duty. Adjusted Network Oyster data, for the quarter, is then used to obtain a ratio of Total Oyster journeys (by ticket type) to the Oyster surveyed journeys. This ratio is then applied to non Oyster surveyed data to obtain Total Non Oyster journeys (by ticket type). Adding the Total Oyster journey estimates and the Total Non Oyster journey estimates produce the final bus journey estimates. g) Oyster data is not infallible and adjustment factors must be applied, one to allow for the bus Oyster Reader not working (provided by the Client) and the second for non-validation of the Oyster pass (data obtained from the survey itself).

  • Sampling and Analysis The Seller has sole responsibility for quality control of the coal and shall forward its “as loaded” quality to the Buyer as soon as possible. The sampling and analysis of the coal delivered hereunder shall be performed by Buyer and the results thereof shall be accepted and used for the quality and characteristics of the coal delivered under this Agreement. All analyses shall be made in Buyer’s laboratory at Buyer’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or using standards mutually acceptable to both parties. Samples for analyses shall be taken by any ASTM standards or standards mutually acceptable to both parties, and may be composited and shall be taken with a frequency and regularity sufficient to provide reasonably accurate representative samples of the deliveries made hereunder. Seller represents that it is familiar with Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices, and finds them to be acceptable. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any significant changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices. Any such changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices shall, except for ASTM or mutually agreeable changes in practices, provide for no less accuracy than the sampling and analysis practices existing at the time of the execution of this Agreement, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree. (1) part shall be used for analysis by Buyer; one (l) part shall be used by Buyer as a check sample, if Buyer in its sole judgment determines it is necessary; one (1) part shall be retained by Buyer (LG&E) until the twenty-fifth (25th) of the month following the month of unloading (the “LG&E Disposal Date”) or Buyer (KU) until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (the “KU Disposal Date”), the LG&E Disposal Date and the KU Disposal Date are collectively the “Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Seller for analysis if Seller so requests before the Disposal Date; and one part (“Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Buyer until the Disposal Date.

If any dispute arises before the Disposal Date, the Referee Sample retained by Buyer shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, a dispute shall be deemed not to exist and Buyer’s analysis shall prevail and the analysis of the Independent Lab shall be disregarded if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs from the analysis of Buyer by an amount equal to or less than: (i) 0.50% moisture (ii) 0.50% ash on a dry basis (iii) 100 Btu/lb. on a dry basis (iv) 0.10% sulfur on a dry basis. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs from the analysis of Buyer by an amount more than the amounts listed above, then the analysis of the Independent Lab shall prevail and Buyer’s analysis shall be disregarded. The cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by Seller to the extent that Buyer’s analysis prevails and by Buyer to the extent that the analysis of the Independent Lab prevails.
