Abstract:

An alternative method of constructing accurate lower tolerance limits for the balanced one-way normal random effects model is derived. The computation of the alternative tolerance limit is easy and the percentage points of the non-central $t$ distribution are not needed. Simulation studies indicate that the present procedure is less conservative than that of several current existing methods and gives more accurate coverage rates and smaller standard deviations. Tables needed to implement the procedure are included.
