The book is designed for practitioners who are tasked with insuring a high level of quality for the products and services offered by their organizations. Along with describing the necessary statistical theory, the book illustrates the practical application of the techniques to data that do not always satisfy the standard assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters deal with attribute data, where the estimation of quality is restricted to counts of nonconformities. Both classical and Bayesian methods are discussed. The rest of the book deals with variable data, including extensive discussions of both capability indices and statistical tolerance limits. Considerable emphasis is placed on methods for handling non-normal data. Also included are discussions of topics often omitted in discussions of process capability, including multivariate capability indices, multivariate tolerance limits, and capability control charts. A separate chapter deals with the problem of determining adequate sample sizes for estimating process capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eComprehensive treatment of the subject with consistent theme of estimating percent of nonconforming product or service.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eIncludes Bayesian methods.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eExtension of univariate techniques to multivariate data.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDemonstration of all techniques using Statgraphics data analysis software.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeil Polhemus is Chief Technology Officer at Statgraphics Technology and the original developer of the Statgraphics program for statistical analysis and data visualization.
