This represents the probability that the intake in inadequate for the randomly selected person. An algorithm for use on a computer gives very good agreement with published values of the area under the normal distribution (Abramowitz and Stegun, 1965)

Computer routines are used to estimate requirements on the basis of subject characteristics, to adjust requirement estimates for the additional needs of pregnancy or lactation, and at the same tome, to adjust variance estimates for the new requirement estimate. The program also imputes weight or Energy intake if not provided as input (used in conjunction with derivation of a requirement estimate for some nutrients)
