ABSTRACT

SS3 = k 1kiY ij - Y1*)2 • The statistics n2Sil62 and n3S5163 are independent chi-squared random variables and can be used to form confidence intervals on functions of cr~ and O'k. In particular, results of Chapter 3 can be used by noting O'k = 63 , cr~ = (62 - 63)/J , cr~/O'k = (6i63 - 1)/J, and cr~ + O'k = (62 + (J-1)93)/J.
