Tolerance interval

A tolerance interval is a statistical interval within which, with some confidence level, a specified proportion of a sampled population falls. "More specifically, a 100×p%/100×(1−α) tolerance interval provides limits within which at least a certain proportion (p) of the population falls with a given level of confidence (1−α)." "A (p, 1−α) tolerance interval (TI) based on a sample is constructed so that it would include at least a proportion p of the sampled population with confidence 1−α; such a TI is usually referred to as p-content − (1−α) coverage TI." "A (p, 1−α) upper tolerance limit (TL) is simply a 1−α upper confidence limit for the 100 p percentile of the population." A tolerance interval can be seen as a statistical version of a . "In the parameters-known case, a 95% tolerance interval and a 95% prediction interval are the same." If we knew a population's exact parameters, we would be able to compute a range within which a certain proportion of the population falls. For example, if we know a population is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation , then the interval includes 95% of the population (1.96 is the z-score for 95% coverage of a normally distributed population). However, if we have only a sample from the population, we know only the sample mean and sample standard deviation , which are only estimates of the true parameters. In that case, will not necessarily include 95% of the population, due to variance in these estimates. A tolerance interval bounds this variance by introducing a confidence level , which is the confidence with which this interval actually includes the specified proportion of the population. For a normally distributed population, a z-score can be transformed into a "k factor" or tolerance factor for a given via lookup tables or several approximation formulas. "As the degrees of freedom approach infinity, the prediction and tolerance intervals become equal." (Wikipedia).

The Range & Interquartile Range – Two Simple Measures of Variability (6-2)

We will begin with two simple measures of variability: the range and the interquartile range. Range is the variability between the two most extreme scores in the distribution. It is the difference between the largest and smallest scores. Outliers can affect the range, but not the interquar
