Graphical Procedure for Fitting the Best Line to a Set of Points

J. L. DOLBY* Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. Thii report provides a simple graphical procedure for obtaining the slope and intercept, of the straight line of best fit to a set of points in two dimensions. The solution is obtained in the dual space (coordinate system) by use of mapping. Although Read more

Tables of Tolerance-Limit Factors for Normal Distributions *

ALFRED WEISSBERG** AND GLENN H. BEATTY Battelle Memorial Institute. Tables of factors for use in computing two-sided tolerance limits are presented.  In contrast to previous tabulations of the tolerance-limit factor K, we tabulate the factors r(N, P) and u(f, y), whose product is equal to K.
