One-Sided Tolerance Limits for a Broad Class of Lifetime Distributions with Applications to Data of Limited Accuracy.

Abstract

Addressed is the problem of determining a one-sided tolerance limit for a population possessing a distribution belonging to a broad class of life-time distributions. A new implementation of existing general theory is given and contrasted with an earlier utilization of that theory. General guidelines are given for deciding which implementation to use. A method for adjusting for the accuracy of the measuring device is discussed and illustrated with an actual example. (Author)
