A User's Guide to RECIPE: A FORTRAN Program for Determining One-Sided Tolerance Limits for Mixed Models With Two Components

This document provides guidance to users of the computer program RECIPE (REGression Con dence Intervals on PErcentiles). This program can provide approximate one-sided tolerance limits (or, equivalently, con dence intervals on percentiles) for a wide range of situations where one is able to assume a normal probability model. Arbitrary regression models with or without a random e ect can be analyzed using this program, and in this ability to accommodate between-batch variability RECIPE is perhaps unique. RECIPE is a general program for one-sided mixed model tolerance limits for any mixed model having one or two components of variance, with no interaction between xed and random e ects. However, this work was motivated by the need for statistical methodology for use in determining design
