Prediction Intervals Using Exceedances for an Additional Third Stage Sample.

Abstract

Prediction intervals are extended to a third sampling stage involving the distribution of the t-th smallest value in a third stage sample which exceeds the k-th smallest value in the second sample. Procedures and tables are given for two situations. In the first situation the usual 2-stage prediction interval has been applied, and a third stage is now required. Sample sizes are given for this problem. In the second situation we know in advance that three stages will be necessary and the factors are given for the required procedure. (Author)
