Abstract
Multi-valued measurands, such as spectral reflectance or transmission, tristimulus values, are usually analyzed by reducing the data to a single-valued parameter, such as color difference. The variations of sets of color differences are non-normal distributed. This paper compares five statistical methods to determine the 95% confidence interval on three data sets of color differences.
