dpmo

Parameters
LSL : is the lower specification limit.
USL : is the upper specification limit
trials : is the number of trials. May be empty if a distribution is provided.
failures : is the number of failures. May be empty if a distribution is provided. Must be >4 if no distribution is provided.
dist : Describes the distribution. May be empty if no distribution is provided. Normal distribution = 1.
param1 : is the 1st parameter of the distribution (mean or shape)
param2 : is the 2nd parameter of the distribution (standard deviation or scale)
param3 : is the 3rd parameter of the distribution, if defined.

ppk

Returns the long term process performance of normally distributed data described by mean, standard deviation, USL and LSL. Underlying data is characterized by 5th parameter as short term or long term.
