Abstract

This article evaluates methods of computing confidence intervals and values of descriptive statistics, capability and performance indexes with the help of conventional procedures, statistical SW, and the method of generating random subgroups. Comparison of different methods has shown that there are differences between the results obtained by SW and those obtained by manual computing. Alternative estimation of values and confidence intervals by means of bootstrapping technique is discussed.
