On the distribution of the estimated process yield index Spk

This paper considers an asymptotic distribution for an estimate Ŝₚₖ of the process yield index Sₚₖ proposed by Boyles (1994). The asymptotic distribution of Ŝₚₖ is useful in statistical inferences for Sₚₖ . An illustrative example is given for hypothesis testing and for interval estimation on the yield index Sₚₖ .
