SOFTWARE

RECIPE

RECIPE is a FORTRAN program for determining one-sided tolerance limits (in particular, A- and B-basis material property values) for regression models in the presence of between-batch variability.

The source code, example files, and User's guide can be downloaded in the zip file recipe.zip. After downloading, enter the following command (under Linux/Unix systems) to unzip and unpack the file:

unzip recipe.zip

The software distributed consists of the following files:

FORTRAN Source
recipe.f	Main program
simcov.f	Utility for determining actual confidence levels
simpvt.f	Utility for simulating a pivotal quantity; useful for highly unbalanced data

Since many users may not have a Fortran compiler for Windows, the executables for the Recipe program, Simcov program, and Simpvt program are provided. These were created using the Intel Fortran compiler for Windows. Since these were created as console applications, you can run them under a Command Prompt window. These executables were created using the default array sizes.

NOTE: The Windows Recipe executable was last updated 2017/09. The Simcov and Simpvt executables were last updated 2008/02.

NOTE: The Recipe code has been incorporated into the Dataplot software.

System/Platform Requirements

Executables are provided that should run on Windows 7/8/10 platforms. The source code should compile and run on most common operating systems (Windows 7/8/10, Linux/Unix, and Mac OS X) as long as a Fortran compiler is available. We have specifically tested this on Linux using the gfortran compiler.

Licensing Information

This software is in the public domain. There is no license and you are free to compile and run it on as many platforms as you like. There is no restriction on redistributing the software to others.
