Popis: Formulas, based on a normal approximation for the noncentral t-distribution, were developed to compute 100p one-tailed upper limits for future sample relative repeatability and relative reproducibility standard deviations (RSDr, and RSDR,) collaboratively obtained under a completely randomized model. The accuracy of the formulas for obtaining a one-tailed upper limit for the future sample RSDr, was assessed by comparing the computed noncentral t-distribution-based upper limits with the one-tailed upper limits based on a normal approximation for the noncentral t-distribution. The accuracy of the normal approximation formula for obtaining a one-tailed upper limit for a future sample RSDR, was assessed by comparing the formula-based one-tailed upper limits with those obtained in a Monte Carlo simulation study.
