  text: The concept of desirability is a means for complexity reduction of multivariate
    quality optimization. This paper provides a theoretical breakthrough regarding
    desirability indices, which application fields were formerly limited primarily
    by the lack of its distribution. Focussed are the distributions of Harrington’s
    desirability functions and different types of the desirability index.
