Calculations for the mean pool and the variance pool for Allocate Gap Pools

Allocate the mean pool

Calculate adjusted means as follows:

μadj,i = μi + qiμPool

where

If you do not specify mean shift factors, then the mean pool = 0.

Allocate the variance pool

Calculate adjusted standard deviations as follows:

σ2adj,i = σ2i + riσ2Pool

where

If you do not specify variation expansion factors and you do not specify both gap specification limits, then the variance pool = 0.
