As illustration we will consider a study on repeatability and reproducibility measures. Besides this the paper includes a simulation study demonstrating that in approximately 9500 out of 10000 simulations the 95% confidence interval covers the true value of the parameter.engInferenceLinear modelsVariance componentsR&R measuresInduced probability measuresjournal article10.1063/1.5044172
