## Dependency
It is assumed the data can be described by a power law, expressed either as Y or X dependent (referring to the second and first axis on a fatigue curve).

## Tollerance bands
A tollerance band states that a certain percentage of the data lies within or above the prediction statement. It is typically of interest to identify the lower-limits 75/75 or 95/95 to estimate a conservative measure of the blade lifetime. Below image illustrates a set of data points, with a mean (50/50) power curve.

There exist a multitude of methods as to identify these limits such as assuming the data follows a normal- or Weibull distribution. However, in this scenario the upper- and lower quantiles in the distribution are used to identify said limits. The following steps explains the algorithm step by step
