Abstract
A program written in ANSI C that computes a kernel based estimate of the pr oportion nonconforming is presented. The bandwidth for the kernel estimate is computed using several multistage plug-in methods that have been shown t o perform well in practice. These bandwidths, along with estimates of the p rocess fallout rate, are provided by the program.
