I am looking to an algorithm to compute the tolerance factors used in constructing normal tolerance limits. I have the article 'Tables of Tolerance-Limit Factors for Normal Distributions' Alfred Weissberg and Glenn H Beatty 1960. This contains tables of r(N,P) and u(f,y) multiplying these together gives the tolerance factor K. I beleive the non-central t-distribution and chi-square distribution are used for calculation of these. Does anybody have an algorithm (in any language) available to do the calculations or have the formulas available? Many thanks Dr L Green.
