Abstract :
A procedure is described for Bayes credible interval estimation of fraction nonconforming when an infinite population and a uniform prior distribution on the fraction nonconforming are assumed. The procedure uses survival function percentiles from the F-distribution to derive credible-interval limits for fraction nonconforming.
