CHECK: A Computer Model for Establishing Data Bounds.

Abstract

The Shipsystem Maintenance Monitoring and Support Office (SMMSO) is establishing a new procedure whereby data collected by a SMMS Site Team will be typed into a DEC PDP-11/03 minicomputer at or near the data collection site. A routine in the PDP-11 will check to see that each number entered lies within the bounds established for its data field. This report documents a FORTRAN computer model, called CHECK, which has been used to analyze existing data for each numerical field and to suggest sets of bounds for use in the PDP-11. Each data set examined by CHECK is tested for possible adherance to assumptions of exponentiality or normality. Bounds are suggested based on the results of these tests. In addition, CHECK indicates the expected probability that another data value from the same distribution will lie within the suggested bounds. (Author)
