Abstract
This thesis examines the development of prediction intervals for the one- and two-parameter exponential distributions. Prediction intervals arise often in life test analysis as confidence intervals for observations not yet observed. The developĀment of prediction intervals for the Poisson distribution and Erlang distribution are discussed and examples of applications are presented.
Tables for finding the appropriate percentiles of the derived distributions are presented in the appendices. These tables were computed using an IBM compatible platform with 486/33 and 486DX2-66 microprocessors running Microsoft Q-Basic in double precision. The percentiles for given o: levels were found using the method of bisection.
