• Control limits and specification limits: Where do they come from and what are they?

  After talking to customers when I worked in Technical Support and more recently at JMP Discovery Summit conferences and site visits, I realized that there is confusion about the difference between control limits and specification limits. While you may have heard of, or even used both of these in your work, they are quite different from each other. In this blog post, I will explain those difference...

• Exploring 30 years of car colors

  Montgomery County, Maryland, publishes all traffic violations since 2013, now totaling more than 780,000 incidents.

It’s car colors that I want to explore here.Even though the violations go back only to 2013, the model year of the cars goes back ...

• Hatching and nesting trends for sea turtles

  A baby sea turtle that has just hatchedI spend a fair amount of time at the North Carolina coast, specifically at Oak Island. Over the years, I’ve noticed the attention given to saving the sea turtles, but I didn’t get involved with this endeavor until the summer of 2014.I happened to witness a nest hatching with my mom one evening, and it was amazing to watch all those tiny turtles emerge and ma...

• Potato chip smackdown: Winners and losers

  When I was growing up in the Midwest (Columbia, MO, to be precise), flavored potato chips were a favorite of mine. Though I preferred sour cream and onion, barbecue would do in a pinch. Imagine my delight, then, when my colleague Ryan Lekivetz informed me that our neighbors to the North had an entire new range of chip flavors to try!And imagine my disappointment when I found out that two of the mo...

• Potato chip smackdown: US vs. Canada

  Each taster in the choice experiment got a set of potato chips like this. Can you guess which one is the ketchup-flavored chip?I grew up in Canada, where ketchup potato chips were a staple at most children's birthday parties. As a huge fan of these ketchup chips, I was unsure whether my enjoyment of the wonderful flavor was simply nostalgia and whether other people unfamiliar with the flavor woul...

• Father's Day fun with toy cars and DOE

  My father and I have collected and customized diecast cars for the past 15 years. But lately, dyeing the cars has become a challenge. (Photos courtesy of Caroll Co)With Father’s Day fast approaching, it seemed fitting that I should share a story about a father and son bonding over design of experiments (DOE) and toy cars. Full disclosure: Some (including their wives) think both the father and son...

• George Box: A remembrance

  Today I mourn the passing of George Box, truly a giant among 20th century statisticians. Indeed, I should not relegate him to the 20th century because he won the Brumbaugh Award in 2010 and 2007 for writing papers that made in their year of publication the largest single contribution to the development of industrial application of quality control.Professor Box was 93. The last time I saw him was a...

• How to create an experiment design that is robust to a linear time trend in the response

  It is fairly common that experiments run in a time sequence experience linear drift in the response over the course of the experiment. If you randomize the order of the runs, then the effect of this drift will not tend to bias the estimated factor effects, but it will increase the variance of those effects.Is there a better choice than random run order?I would usually advise investigators to rando...

• What’s a three-way chart, and why would I need one?

  When I was at the JMP Discovery Summit last year, several people asked me, “What’s a three-way chart and why would I need one?” Not everyone needs one, but some might. In this blog post, I’ll tell you more about them and why you might want to use them.The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) is advising all adolescent girls, and more recently, adolescent boys to receive the full three-dose sequence fo...

• Three-way charts, an evolution of the Presummarize Control Chart

  Many years ago, we added the Presummarized control charts to JMP version 5 at the request of folks in the semiconductor industry. While there are many types of Presummarized control charts, one of the most common is the chart called, “Individuals on Group Means,” which plots the subgroup average just like an XBar chart, but uses the overall moving range between each consecutive average for sigma w...

• Nesting variables in the Control Chart Builder

  In my first Control Chart Builder blog post “Control Charts are easy in JMP 10,” I used a column named “Date” on the X-axis. When I downloaded the data, it didn’t arrive as a date; I had to create the date column from the original month and year columns. Traditionally, when you had more than one variable or column of interest on an axis, you needed to create a new variable with a formula similar t...

• Custom Tests in the Control Chart Builder in JMP 10

  In my last blog post, I noted that the Control Chart Builder is an overhaul of the older Control Chart platform. One of the most requested features for Control Charts was to offer a way to customize the tests that flag out-of-control samples. I’m happy to report that the new Control Chart Builder platform in JMP 10 has an option to customize the tests – plus you can save the customization to your ...

• Control Charts are easy in JMP 10

   JMP 10 introduces a snazzy way to create control charts with a new platform called Control Chart Builder. JMP's prior Control Charts were designed over two decades ago for the classic process engineer in manufacturing and were past due for an overhaul.The more we listened to which customers were running control charts and how they were using them, the more I was surprised to learn that people fro...
