Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL
What is a Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL? In a Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL, all of the possible combinations of factors and levels are created and tested. For example, for two-level design (i.e.each factor has two levels) with k factors, there are 2k possible scenarios or treatments. Two factors, each with two levels, we…
Read MoreLogistic Regression with SigmaXL
What is Logistic Regression with SigmaXL? The Logistic Regression with SigmaXL is a statistical method to predict the probability of an event occurring by fitting the data to a logistic curve using logistic function. The regression analysis used for predicting the outcome of a categorical dependent variable, based on one or more predictor variables. The…
Read MoreChi Square Test with JMP
Chi Square (Contingency Tables) We have looked at hypothesis tests to analyze the proportion of one population vs. a specified value, and the proportions of two populations, but what do we do if we want to analyze more than two populations? A chi-square test is a hypothesis test in which the sampling distribution of the…

Read MoreAttribute MSA with SigmaXL
Implement an Attribute MSA with SigmaXL Data File: “Attribute MSA” tab in “Sample Data.xlsx” (an example in the AIAG MSA Reference Manual, 3rd Edition). Step 1: Reorganize the original data into four new columns (i.e., Appraiser, Assessed Result, Part, and Reference). Select the entire range of the original data (“Part”, “Reference”, “Appraiser A”, “Appraiser B”…
Read MoreAttribute MSA with JMP
Use JMP to Implement an Attribute MSA This article discusses using an Attribute MSA with JMP. It’s important to know because whenever something is measured repeatedly or by different people or processes, the results of the measurements will vary. Variation comes from two primary sources: Differences between the parts being measured The measurement system We…
Read MoreRun Chart with Minitab
Why we use a Run Chart A run chart is a chart used to present data in time order. These charts capture process performance over time. The X axis indicates time and the Y axis shows the observed values. A run chart is similar to a scatter plot in that it shows the relationship between X and…
Read MoreMoods Median Test with JMP
What is Moods Median Test? Mood’s median test is a statistical test to compare the medians of two or more populations. Null Hypothesis (H0): η1 = … = ηk Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): At least one of the medians is different from the others The symbol k is the number of groups of our interest and…

Read MoreStepwise Regression with JMP
What is Stepwise Regression? Stepwise regression is a statistical method to automatically select regression models with the best sets of predictive variables from a large set of potential variables. There are different statistical methods used in stepwise regression to evaluate the potential variables in the model: F-test T-test R-square AIC Three Approaches to Stepwise Regression…

Read MoreBox Cox Transformation with Minitab
What is a Box Cox Transformation? Data transforms are usually applied so that the data appear to more closely meet assumptions of a statistical inference model to be applied or to improve the interpret-ability or appearance of graphs. Power transformation is a class of transformation functions that raise the response to some power. For example,…

What is Simple Linear Regression with Minitab? The Simple linear regression with Minitab is a statistical technique to fit a straight line through the data points. It models the quantitative relationship between two variables. It is simple because only one predictor variable is involved. It describes how one variable changes according to the change of…
