Methodology for Reliable Assessment of Water Quality. V. Statistical Methods for Water Quality Research: Parametric Approach

Abstract

The possibility of using a parametric tolerance interval to improve the accuracy of studying water quality indicators was analyzed. It was demonstrated that the proposed approach provides advantages over non-parametric interval rank, but not in all cases. The advantages of the new method due to the use of more complete experimental information were substantiated, and the reasons for the decrease in the accuracy of water quality assessment at its application were analysed.
