Tolerance intervals for univariate distributions

William C. Guenther

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1972, vol. 19, issue 2, 309-333

Abstract: A review of univariate tolerance intervals is presented from an application‐oriented point of view. Both β‐content and β‐expectation intervals are defined and considered. Standard problems are discussed for the distribution‐free case and with various distributional assumptions (normal, gamma, Poisson) which occur most frequently in practice. The determination of sample size is emphasized. A number of examples are used to illustrate the types of problems which permit solutions with the excellent tables now available.
