Robust two sided tolerance limits based on mml estimators

Abstract
Robust estimators and are used in the two-sided tolerance limits., These estimators are the ones proposed by Tiku (1967); they are referred to in the literature as the modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimators., The constants k* needed to set. up 90% tolerance limits with p1 = p2 are tabled, The actual γ attained under a variety of nonnormal situations, using the MML estimators, has also been tabled. The efficacy of using the MML estimators in such instances is established..
