Task

This function computes estimated values of fractions F(x) and 1-F(x) for a given value x of a normally distibuted population with distribution parameters unknown. Sample results are required in summarized form only.

Example

If LSL and USL are the specification limits of a normally distributed characteristic then F(LSL) is the fraction of units in the population that are too small and 1-F(USL) is the fraction of units that are too big. Both fractions can be estimated from sample results using two calls of the present function.


  CALL FUNCTION 'QF20_CDF_NORMAL_ESTIMATE'
    EXPORTING SAMPLE_MEAN     = XMEAN
              SAMPLE_SIZE     = N
              SAMPLE_STDDEV   = S
              SPLITTING_VALUE = LSL

    IMPORTING PROB_BELOW      = FRACTION_BELOW_SPEC.

  CALL FUNCTION 'QF20_CDF_NORMAL_ESTIMATE'
    EXPORTING SAMPLE_MEAN     = XMEAN
              SAMPLE_SIZE     = N
              SAMPLE_STDDEV   = S
              SPLITTING_VALUE = USL
    IMPORTING PROB_ABOVE      = FRACTION_ABOVE_SPEC.

The nonconforming fraction F(LSL) + (1-F(USL)) is the sum of the two estimated values.

   FRACTION_NONCONFORMING = FRACTION_BELOW_SPEC. + FRACTION_ABOVE_SPEC.

Statistical properties

The estimator used is unbiased. Of all unbiased estimators, it has mimimal variance.
