This paper develops a logistic approximation to the cumulative normal distribution. Although the literature contains a vast collection of approximate functions for the normal distribution, they are very complicated, not very accurate, or valid for only a limited range. This paper proposes an...

When the manufacturing objective is process or product improvement, quality practitioners will frequently resort to one or more approaches within the broader class of response surface methodology. Several techniques, such as the dual response, robust parameter design, and desirability function...
