Abstract

A solution for the problem of obtaining a distribution-free one-sided confidence interval for $p = \Pr \{Y < X\}$ has been proposed in [1]. At present a numerical procedure is given for computing the sample sizes needed for such a confidence interval with given width and confidence level.
