Percentile of the absolute difference, total, inter- and intra-method Total Deviation Indices for four different proportion sets. Results represent the TDI estimates, Inline graphic, based on Lin, Choudhary and our Probability Interval approaches respectively and the resulting 95% upper bounds, UB(Inline graphic), based on Lin Choudhary and our Tolerance Interval (TI) approaches.
