Statistical interpretation of data — Part 6: Determination of statistical tolerance intervals (Corrected version 2005-04)
ISO 16269-6:2005 describes procedures for establishing tolerance intervals that include at least a specified proportion of the population with a specified confidence level. Both one-sided and two-sided statistical tolerance intervals are provided, a one-sided interval having either an upper or a lower limit while a two-sided interval has both upper and lower limits. Two methods are provided, a parametric method for the case where the characteristic being studied has a normal distribution and a distribution-free method for the case where nothing is known about the distribution except that it is continuous.
