• Digging up Bones: Fisbone Diagrams

  Fishbone diagrams can be phenomenally useful, but in general are a giant pain to draw.  In this blog I'm digging in to an often forgotten "Diagram Platform".

• It's not Normal, or is it?

  In several recent discussions about using parametric tests the question of whether the data is normally distributed (or passes a goodness of fit test for normality)  has come up.  In each of the cases the sample size was relatively low (<30) and the conclusion was that the data did not come from a normally distributed population.

• Graphs with Light Text and Dark Backgrounds

    In Pharma and Biotech, there was a time when "foils" and 35mm slides were the standard for presentations. Most of the time these slides had dark backgrounds and light colored text and figures. IMHO this format looked great. Well, times have changed and now the most common format is exactly the opposite and this is reflected in the default settings. The old-school look can be yours again, and a l...

• Basic JSL: Working With Column Dialogs and Buttons

  Abstract: In JMP, it is easy to capture and reuse scripts. Often the next step is to build custom dialogs, which use these scripts with different tables and column names. These basic projects can easily get derailed by difficulties in capturing file names and paths as well as useable column names. In this talk, I will cover methods for capturing paths, files and column names, as well as an essenti...

• Simulation of Within and Between Variation for Specification Setting

  Suppose you characterized the variation in the weight of tablets from a new process and then wanted to use that work to estimate the variation in weight that could be expected in a multi-tablet package.   One way to get the multi-tablet estimate is to simulate a large number of tablets with a specified mean and sigma, using a normal distribution. Then divide the individual tablets into a large num...

• Simulating Multi-Step Processes and the Propagation of Error to the Final Response

  Imagine I have a multi-step process, like maybe an additive dispense process, where I'm using well characterized pumps to deliver set volumes to container and then at the end I check the mass of the container. What I would like to know is how much variation to expect in the final fill weight.  In my previous blog  I showed how to simulate one categorical level. To extend that approach to multiple ...
