Constants

This section covers the constants used for the creation of SPC control charts.

lost_spc.constants.get_d(m, sim_size=10000)

Correction factors for the R and X control charts.

Refer to Shewhart charts for further reference.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
m int

Size of each sample.

 required
sim_size int

Number of simulations performed to estimate d2 and d3 if no predifined value is available.

 10000

Returns:

Type Description
D

Dataclass with the corrisponding d2 and d3 value.

Examples:

>>> d = get_d(5)
>>> d.d2
2.326
>>> d.d3
0.864
