A Computer Package for Computing the Confidence Limits of a Measured Factor

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the development of a computer algorithm for computing the range of values of the confidence limits for a repeatedly measured factor. The paper briefly reviews the theory of the confidence limits for both large and small sample sizes. The presented algorithm uses the theory to compute confidence limits, for both large and small sample sizes. The algorithm is simple to program in any computer language, and it saves its users from having to resort to using statistical tables. Keywords: Confidence Limits, Measurements, Algorithms
