dpmo
returns the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) for the given specification limits and distribution or the given number of trials and number of failures. The 7parameters are USL, LSL, trials, failures, distribution (0=normal), and up to 3 parameters describing the distribution.
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. |
