Construction of tolerance bounds for a multivariate response associated with a covariate: A case study

Thomas, Edward V.; King, Caleb; Cap, Jerome S.; Montoya, Angela C.

The purpose of this research is to describe and illustrate practical methods that can be used to construct tolerance bounds for a multivariate measurement associated with a covariate. These methods rely on principal components analysis and the parametric bootstap. The methods are illustrated with an example in which the vibration environment experienced by a test object being carried by an aircraft (known as captive carry) is characterized.
