P.S. Quote for the month: Astrophysicist’s epiphany on statistical methods—the only way to link data to what needs to be understood. 1: FAQ: How version 10 of Stat-Ease software makes it easier than ever for experimenters to pick out vital factorial effects at a glance Original Question from an Industrial Statistician: Answer from Stat-Ease Consultant Shari Kraber: See this video for a dynamic demonstration of selecting effects using the half-normal plot (software default). We implemented the new, 50%-preselect approach of v10 after seeing it suggested by Doug Montgomery in his rebuttal to “The Case Against Normal Plots of Effects” by Russell Lenth (Journal of Quality Technology, Vol. 47, No. 2, April 2015, Discussion 3, pp 105-106. See it at work below on the popcorn case from DOE Simplified, 3rd Edition.

Please spare a minute or so from your busy schedule to check out my video demo of our graphical selection tools for factorial effects which I posted at the “Statistics Made Easy by Stat-Ease” YouTube Channel. This is the first in an ongoing series of “mini-Tips” that will be produced by Stat-Ease. I hope you like it!
Via two world-wide webinars, I will provide insights into graphical approaches—half-normal and Pareto plots—that assess effects at a glance—a huge advantage for experimenters who get overwhelmed by esoteric statistical reports. My presentation details an impressive number of software enhancements incorporated that:
Via a variety of case studies I will demonstrate how we make effect selection easy for our users. If this is your first Stat-Ease webinar, please review these suggestions on how to be prepared. If questions remain, direct them to our Client Specialist, Rachel Pollack, via [email protected].
