Summary
We propose distribution-free tolerance regions for multidimensional random variables on the simplex. They are helpful when normal ranges of proportions have to be calculated. The work is motivated by the need for the statistical evaluation of findings at birth in embryotoxicologi-cal studies.
Es werden verteilungsfreie Toleranzbereiche für simplexwertige Zufallsvariable vorgeschlagen. Sie sind nützlich, wenn Normalbereiche von Proportionen berechnet werden sollen. Entstanden ist die Arbeit bei der Auswertung von Befundhäufigkeiten aus Embryotoxizitäts-studien.
