coverage
The coverage to be used for the calculation of the lower and upper ends of the interval covering the user supplied samples.
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: REAL
Default: 0.95
Description
The coverage must be a value between 0 and 1. Once the mean and standard deviation ‘s_equiv’ of the equivalent normal distribution are computed (based on the “confidence_level” input parameter), Dakota uses this “coverage” input parameter to know how much it has to multiply ‘s_equiv’ in order to get the lower and upper ends of the interval covering the user supplied samples.
Default Behavior
A value of 0.95 (95%) is the default value for this parameter.
