non parametric tolerance intervals

I have not been able to find a straight forward way to calculate tolerance intervals if I have non parametric data am I missing something?

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

That would be great.  Thanks

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

JMP only provides parametric tolerance intervals, but as Jordan points out, bootstrapping is a nice option.  Peter, I have an Excel file that does these computations if it would help - this was from my Six Sigma days.  Happy to share.

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

Thanks Jordan that is a good idea to get around the parametric assumptions.  Maybe an upsell opportunity in the future right now just trying to keep them happy with the conversion from Minitab.

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

How about a bootstrap analysis of the Quantiles output from Distribution? Not exactly the same as a tolerance interval, but it would get you the same type of information without parametric assumptions.

JMP Pro only solution, of course. Maybe you can upsell!

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

Thanks Scott that is a nice option, but not quite what I was hoping for in this case.  The customer wants to be able to be able to select a confidence and a proportion to cover like we can currently done in tolerance intervals only using non-parametric data (this is a feature in Minitab which they are hoping to recreate in JMP).

Re: non parametric tolerance intervals

Peter,

Would this work?  Go to Distribution and fit a Continuous Fit - Smooth Curve to get into a Non-Parametric fit.

Then a red trangle option was to set a K-Sigma "specs" based on quantile from the distribution.

Then you can get the full non-parametric process capability in detail.

Here is an example using Big Class...

Hope this helps!

Scott
