  • Publication number: 20090299497
    Abstract: A method for containing a fraction of values of a measurable characteristic of interest, occurring in process outcomes provided from a corresponding formation process, within tolerance limits based on samples thereof, the tolerance limits being based on a different formation process by which similar process outcomes are known to have been previously through selecting a probability representation over a representational variable to represent the distribution of values of the measurable characteristic of interest in the formation processes outcomes and using a selected Monte Carlo method with the probability representation to provide a plurality of sample values sets for the measurable characteristic of interest each containing a common selected number of sample values. A statistic is formed to test selected tolerance limits to find a value for tan incremental variable to assure those tolerance limits will be met with a selected confidence.
