Abstract
The paper by Braun et al. in this volume provides non-normal statistical models and confirming data for populations of actual values of certain geometric tolerances, and discusses briefly some of the effects of the reported non-normalities. This Short Communication continues the discussion of effects by summarizing and generalizing the failure-rate criterion used in the Braun paper, extending the discussion to include criteria based on distribution function bounds, and by noting an important subtlety that arises in most applications involving non-normal statistics.
