The EnvStats functions listed below are useful for computing prediction intervals and simultaneous prediction intervals. See Power and Sample Size for a list of functions useful for computing power and sample size for a design based on a prediction interval width, or a design based on a hypothesis test for future observations falling outside of a prediciton interval.
