Computation of tolerance intervals from a data-fitted probability distribution.

class gemseo.uncertainty.statistics.tolerance_interval.distribution.BaseToleranceInterval(size)[source]

Bases: object

Computation of tolerance intervals from a data-fitted probability distribution.

A BaseToleranceInterval (TI) is initialized from the number of samples used to estimate the parameters of the probability distribution and from the estimations of these parameters.

A BaseToleranceInterval can be evaluated from:

  • a coverage defining the minimum percentage of belonging to the TI, e.g. 0.90,

  • a level of confidence in [0,1], e.g. 0.95,

  • a type of interval, either ‘lower’ for lower-sided TI, ‘upper’ for upper-sided TI or ‘both’ for both-sided TI.

Note

Lower-sided tolerance intervals are used to analyse the strength of materials. They are also known as basis tolerance limits. In particular, the B-value is the lower bound of the lower-sided tolerance interval with 90%-coverage and 95%-confidence while the A-value is the lower bound of the lower-sided tolerance interval with 95%-coverage and 95%-confidence.

Parameters:

size (int) – The number of samples.

class Bounds(lower, upper)[source]

Bases: NamedTuple

The component-wise bounds of a vector.

Create new instance of Bounds(lower, upper)

Parameters:
lower: NDArray[float]

Alias for field number 0

upper: NDArray[float]

Alias for field number 1

class ToleranceIntervalSide(value)[source]

Bases: LowercaseStrEnum

The side of the tolerance interval.

BOTH = 'both'
LOWER = 'lower'
UPPER = 'upper'
compute(coverage, confidence=0.95, side=ToleranceIntervalSide.BOTH)[source]

Compute a tolerance interval.

Parameters:

  • coverage (float) – A minimum percentage of belonging to the TI.

  • confidence (float) –

    A level of confidence in [0,1].

    By default it is set to 0.95.

  • side (ToleranceIntervalSide) –

    The type of the tolerance interval characterized by its sides of interest, either a lower-sided tolerance interval \([a, +\infty[\), an upper-sided tolerance interval \(]-\infty, b]\), or a two-sided tolerance interval \([c, d]\).

    By default it is set to “both”.

Returns:

The tolerance bounds.

Return type:
