capability op• Data kinds: signal → table
• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.spc_capability(signal, lsl, usl, sigma=None) (to call the implementation directly, import spc; spc.spc_capability(signal, lsl, usl, sigma=None); from the registry, opsspc.get("spc_capability"))
Process capability indices Cp and Cpk from measurements and spec limits.
`signal is a 1-D series of individual measurements; lsl / usl` are the
lower / upper specification limits (`lsl < usl). With the sample mean mu`
and standard deviation `sigma (sample std, ddof=1`, unless one is passed
in explicitly)::
Cp = (USL - LSL) / (6 sigma)
Cpk = min(USL - mu, mu - LSL) / (3 sigma)
Returns a dict with `mean / std / cp / cpk` and the echoed spec
limits and midpoint. `Cpk <= Cp` always, with equality exactly when the
process is centred (`mu` at the spec midpoint) — pinned in the tests.
Raises `ValueError`: a non-1-D / empty *signal*, fewer than two points
(no spread to estimate), `lsl >= usl`, non-finite limits, or a non-positive
standard deviation (a constant series has no capability to report).
