Statistical analyses of real time occupational exposure measurements to silver nano particules

This exploratory study investigates two different statistical methods to analyse time resolved data of silver nano particles measurements. One is based on time series analysis following the ARIMA approach, and the other one is based on a Bayesian probabilistic approach. Advantages and disavantages of these techniques are highlighted and good practices for the gathering of real time measurements are elaborated for industrial hygienists who might want to use statistical analysis for future exploitation
