Reportable Statistics and Statistical Summaries

· Data maintained and reported in many forms (position, XYZ coordinates, diameter, angle, width, etc.)
· Inherent tools select, isolate, organize, mathematically manipulate, and combine data.
· Statistical data isolated for process changes or mean shifts
· Historical change tracking and maintenance of process footprint information


Statistics reportable on various types of data include:

1.  CP, CpK, CR, CpM
2.  PP, PpK, PR
3.  Skewness, kurtosis, variance
4.  Various percents/counts such as sample, total value, invalid, no specification limit, out-of-tolerance, out-of-control, etc.
5.  Specification and control limit ranges adjusted for reporting type (car or vector based)
6.  High value, Low value, Sum, Range, Median
7.  Average, Moving Average, Subgroup Average
8.  Grand Average (on entire set or subset of data)
9.  Average Range, Average Moving Range
10. Standard Deviation (estimated and actual), Average Standard Deviation

12. Control Limits for control charts: Average and Range, etc.
13. Box plot statistics such as median of highs, median of lows, median, inner-quartile range, box high, box low, outer fence values
14. Normal probability correlation coefficient
15. Normality determination via D'Agostino Pearson Omnibus test or correlation coefficient t (CM4D can attempt to normalize abnormal data via transformations)
