Abstract: A system with a Poisson-distributed number of flaws is undergoing a sequence of trials designed to detect and remove the flaws. On each trial, independently and with probability q , masking occurs that blocks the detection of flaws on that trial. If masking does not occur on a trial then each flaw in the system, independently, is detected with probability p on that trial. Each flaw detected on a trial, independently, is removed with probability r before the next trial. This note derives distributions and measures of quality for this problem.
