Regression: Add Pareto Chart to Fit Regression ModelĪ Pareto plot of effects has been added to Regression and made accessible through the Graphs sub dialog.īasic Statistics: Correlation now includes matrix plot to visualize data Criterion-based methods, such as minimizing AICc or BIC have become standard both in academia and in practice. Using p-values as stopping rules for forward selection, backward elimination, and stepwise model selection is losing favor in the statistical community. Provide modern criterion (AICc and BIC) to reduce models In the File-Options sub dialog, the options for Confidence intervals changed from Two-sided, Lower Bound, Upper Bound to One-sided (default) and Two-sided. Added a global option to display PPM or Percent, and to display confidence.Allowed Two-sided and One-sided options for Confidence.Provide Confidence intervals for Expected B/W PPM USL, PPM Total (For BWCAPA and MCAPA commands only).Provide Confidence intervals for Expected Within PPM USL, PPM Total (For CAPA and MCAPA commands only).Provide Confidence intervals for Expected Overall PPM USL, PPM.Provide Upper Confidence Limits in addition to Lower Confidence Limits of.The Normal Capability Analysis commands (Normal, Between/Within, Multiple Variables (Normal) have had the following updates: Quality Tools: Normal Capability Analysis A major advantage is that it will allow for joint optimization of continuous and binary responses. It is a crucial skill to master.Design of Experiments: Analyze Binary ResponseĪnalyze binary responses is now available in the Screening, Factorial and Response Surface platforms. When you are proficient and comfortable with the platform, you will be able to provide a better quality work product and achieve the results you are seeking in any project.
An important part of this ongoing training effort should include a formal and comprehensive training on the Minitab software platform. Your continued success in the Six Sigma profession depends on continuous and consistent training and education.
Any practitioner of Six Sigma should complete a comprehensive and detailed training course on the Minitab software. Minitab requires a certain level of education and understanding to achieve the desired results.
Every professional software has a learning curve of manipulation and data entry.
Once you have mastered manual manipulation of the statistics, then moving into the Minitab software is the beginning of another learning process. Learning the statistical applications of Six Sigma is crucial to anyone in the professional, it is simply a stepping stone to the next level of proficiency.
This ensures the professional understands the hows and whys of the process, before using the software. Like any other process, it is crucial for a professional to understand the basic mechanics of the process, then graduate to an automated software platform. Minitab is the leading software for Six Sigma professionals. Every industry has their specific software that is unique to the application of their trade. Achieving success in the Six Sigma profession demands that you have available and fully understand the use of the proper tools of the job.
