3.5.2.38 QCD4

Description

This function returns a factor. (Quality Control D4 Factor)

It determines the 3-sigma upper control limit for R charts (Range of Sample Charts) from the average range when the sample size (or subgroup size) n is given.

The Upper Control Limit for R = (factor)*(Average Range).

The calculations for the factors are based on the normal distribution.
