Attribute 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…

Moods 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…

Logistic Regression with JMP

What is Logistic Regression? Logistic regression 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 logistic function used to model…

Stepwise 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…

Box Cox Transformation with JMP

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, a…

Multiple Linear Regression with JMP

What is Multiple Linear Regression? Multiple linear regression is a statistical technique to model the relationship between one dependent variable and two or more independent variables by fitting the data set into a linear equation. The difference between simple linear regression and multiple linear regression: Simple linear regression only has one predictor Multiple linear regression…

Simple Linear Regression with JMP

What is Simple Linear Regression? Simple linear regression 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 another variable. Both variables need…

Correlation Coefficient with JMP

What is Correlation? Correlation is a statistical technique that describes whether and how strongly two or more variables are related. Correlation analysis helps to understand the direction and degree of association between variables, and it suggests whether one variable can be used to predict another. Of the different metrics to measure correlation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient…

Run Chart with SigmaXL

Why we use a Run Chart with SigmaXL A run chart with SigmaXL 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…

Central Limit Theorem with JMP

What is Central Limit Theorem? The Central Limit Theorem is one of the fundamental theorems of probability theory. It states a condition under which the mean of a large number of independent and identically-distributed random variables, each of which has a finite mean and variance, would be approximately normally distributed. Let us assume Y1, Y2…

Variable Gage R&R with JMP

What is Variable Gage R&R? Variable Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility  (Gage R&R) is a method used to analyze the variability of a measurement system by partitioning the variation of the measurements using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Whenever something is measured repeatedly or by different people or processes, the results of the measurements will vary. Variation…

Multi Vari Analysis with JMP

What is Multi-Vari Analysis? Multi vari analysis is a graphic-driven method to analyze the effects of categorical inputs on a continuous output. It studies how the variation in the output changes across different inputs and helps us quantitatively determine the major source of variability in the output. Multi-vari charts are used to visualize the source…

Capability Analysis with JMP

What is Process Capability Analysis? Process capability measures how well the process performs to meet given specified outcome. It indicates the conformance of a process to meet given requirements or specifications. Capability analysis helps to better understand the performance of the process with respect to meeting customer’s specifications and identify process improvement opportunities. Process Capability…

Box Plot with JMP

What is a Box Plot? A box plot is a graphical method to summarize a data set by visualizing the minimum value, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, the maximum value, and potential outliers. A percentile is the value below which a certain percentage of data fall. For example, if 75% of the observations have values…

Scatter Plot using JMP

What is a Scatter Plot? A scatter plot is a diagram to present the relationship between two data set variables. A scatterplot consists of a set of data points. On the scatterplot, a single observation is presented by a data point with its horizontal position equal to the value of one variable and its vertical…

Make a Histogram Using JMP

What is a Histogram? A histogram is a graphical tool to present the distribution of the data. The X axis of a histogram represents the possible values of the variable and the Y axis represents the frequency of the value occurring. A histogram consists of adjacent rectangles erected over intervals with heights equal to the…

Pareto Analysis with JMP

What is the Pareto Principle? Before getting into Pareto analysis with JMP, a bit about the principle itself. The Pareto principle is an observation not a law.  Named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, this principle states that for a variety of situations, 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes, thus the Pareto principle is…
