摘要

The problem of constructing tolerance intervals for the distribution of \(X_1-X_2\) X 1 - X 2 , where \(X_i\) X i ’s are independent normal random variables, is considered. Approximate methods of finding one-sided, two-sided and equal-tailed tolerance intervals are proposed. The proposed methods are evaluated for their accuracy and compared with already available methods. Using the proposed method, a tolerance interval for the ratio of independent lognormal random variables can be constructed. An example is given to illustrate the methods and some recommendations are made for applications.
