Consider a problem of interval estimation of a maximum of a quadratic regression function in situation, when random errors are correlated. Our aim is to examine the robustness of confidence intervals for maximum of a quadratic regression function. In the paper lengths and confidence levels of confidence intervals are compared with respect to the correlation. The investigations are made on the basis of computer simulations.
