Discordancy test result | Contaminant ( replications) | | Present ( 0, 0, > 1, or −1) | Absent
( = 0 or = 1) | Contaminant not used in a discordancy test
( type event) | Contaminant used in a discordancy test
( type event) |
| Not significant
(TN ≤ CV99) | Spurious type II error probability ()
(Figure 3) | Nonspurious type II error probability ()
(Figures 5 and 7) | True negative probability ()
(Figures 3, 5, and 7) |
| Significant
(TN > CV99) | Spurious power probability ()
(Figure 4) | Nonspurious power probability ()

TN: calculated test statistic for a sample (TN2, TN8, TN14, or TN15); CV99: critical value for a given discordancy test at 99% confidence level.
