Judge Grimm, Sampling and eDiscovery Process Quality



http://ow.ly/92x74

An article posted on the Orange Legal Technology blog.

The article discusses sampling tests that should be performed as part of a predictive coding workflow.  The article states, "A quality measure can address the question: Of the documents that have been marked nonresponsive, what percentage of those documents is actually responsive? This measure is called “elusion,” reflecting the number of documents that have eluded identification.

Rather than estimate this value directly, elusion leads to a quality control measure with a very simple statistical test to determine whether the elusion rate exceeds a reasonable criterion. What percentage of documents could you leave behind and still find your process to be reasonable?"

A link to a case study (Used by Permission of Herbert L. Roitblat, Ph.D.) undertaken in 2010 is provided in the article, and this case study provides a valuable resource to any service provider that offers predictive coding a/k/a technology assisted review.
