One-Sided Normal Prediction Intervals and Sample Sizes for a Third-Stage Sample

摘要

One-sided two-stage prediction intervals for a normal population are extended to a third sampling stage. Procedures and tables are given for two situations. In the first situation, methods for obtaining such intervals are presented, and tables for calculating such prediction intervals are provided. In the second situation, a two-stage prediction interval has been applied, and a third-stage is now required. Sample sized are given for the third stage. (Author)
