Weissberg and Beatty [28] and Young [30] introduced two approaches for constructing tolerance intervals for simple linear regression models. This paper introduces two approaches for constructing bootstrap tolerance intervals for linear regression models. One approach is based on resampling errors from a known distribution function and the other approach focuses on resampling residuals resulting from the original regression model. The performance of these two approaches is evaluated and compared with the two methods that were introduced by Weissberg and Beatty [28] and Young [30] in terms of coverage probability and expected interval width using extensive simulations. The four approaches are illustrated by an application to a real data example. SAS 9.4 package and SAS/IML matrix language were used to carry out simulation studies and real data analysis.
