Abstract:

The construction of upper or lower tolerance limits is investigated for a one-way random model with balanced or unbalanced data. It is well known the problem reduces to the computation of an upper or lower confidence limit for a suitable percentile of model. The computation of accurate confidence limits is investigated based on two modified versions of the signed root of the log-likelihood ratio test statistic. The modifications are given in DiCiccio, Martin and Stern (2001,Canadian Journal of Statistics), and are implemented using a parametric bootstrap procedure. The proposed tolerance limits are easy to compute, and numerical results indicate that they are accurate. The results will be illustrated with an example.
