In this paper, we propose a methodology essentially based on the Central Limit Theorem for Markov chains to monitor convergence of MCMC algorithms using actual outputs. Our methods are grounded on the fact that normality is a testable implication of sufficient mixing. The first control tool...

Fiducial quantities are proposed to construct approximate tolerance limits and intervals for functions of some discrete random variables. Using established fiducial quantities for binomial proportions, Poisson rates, and negative binomial proportions, an approach is demonstrated to handle...

The tolerance package for R provides a set of functions for estimating and plotting tolerance limits. This package provides a wide-range of functions for estimating discrete and continuous tolerance intervals as well as for estimating regression tolerance intervals. An additional tool of the...

The decision-making strategies of pilots were examined using a linear modeling technique. Three hundred twenty-six American, 104 Norwegian, and 51 Australian pilots completed a scenario-based judgment task in which they assigned a comfort rating to each of 27 weather scenarios for each of three...
