Abstract

In this note we examine using Genzbretz and Miwa algorithms to improve estimation of proposition of non-conformance in multivariate normal distributions. This estimation is required in the procedure outlined in Abbasi and Niaki (Int J Adv Manuf Technol 50(5–8):823–830, 2010) to determine process capability index of multivariate non-normal processes.
