Exact algorithm for computing two-sided statistical tolerance intervals under a normal distribution assumption using Python.

Overview

norm-tol-int

Exact algorithm for computing two-sided statistical tolerance intervals under a normal distribution assumption using Python.

Methods

The function tolerance_factor computes (by Gauss-Kronod quadrature) the exact tolerance factor k for the two-sided coverage-content and (1-alpha)-confidence tolerance interval

TI = [Xmean - k * S, Xmean + k * S]

where Xmean = mean(X), S = std(X), X = [X_1,...,X_n] is a random sample of size n from the distribution N(mu,sig2) with unknown mean mu and variance sig2.

The algorithm is a Python port of the MATLAB algorithm ToleranceFactor, contributed to the MATLAB Central File Exchange by Viktor Witkovsky. The port attempts to preserve the basic function structure of the algorithm so comparisons back against the MATLAB code are easier to conduct.

Example

The notebook example.ipynb provides a very brief application example.

Environment

The file environment.yml can be used to produce a conda environment suitable for running the example notebook and the unit tests.

Unit Tests

The algorithm accurately reproduces tables of two-sided normal tolerance interval factors from standard sources, including the complete set of tables in ISO 16269-6:2014 Annex F. The unit tests included here represent a sampling of that reproduction for brevity.

To run all the unit tests, invoke the following:

python -m unittest discover -v
