Reply to the remarks of B. Я. Yufa on the article “To the methodology of taking into account the systematic error in determining the most reliable content of components in ores”.

Abstract

The main discrepancy in the views of the author and B. Ya. Yufa. The author considers basic and control analyses as unequal changes, B. Ya. Yufa believes that there should be no systematic errors in control analyses. The conclusion about the magnitude of systematic error is usually made on a limited batch of samples, and the magnitude of systematic error is essentially random, since it depends on the sample volume, sampling method, time of production of analyses, etc. In other words, while recognizing the absence of systematic error in control analyses (a controversial position, by the way), we must also recognize that the true magnitude of the systematic error of the main analyses compared to the control analyses cannot be determined ....
