Définition
Sens technique
Smallest value of a parameter to be analyzed in a sample that can be detected and considered different from the blank value (with a given probability), but not necessarily quantifiable. Two risks are taken into account: the alpha risk of considering this parameter present in the sample whereas its quantity is zero, the beta risk of considering a parameter as absent when its quantity is not zero.
