  • Interpret model results.

Module Learning Outcome

Appraise Minitab's ability to analyze one-way analysis of variance problems versus R Studio


Minitab

Commercial statistical analysis software. Available for Windows or web application.

  • Purpose: Analyze data, design experiments, and improve processes

  • Core Features

    • Statistical analysis (ANOVA, regression)
    • Graphing (histograms, boxplots)
    • DOE (factorial, RSM)
    • Quality tools (control charts, Cp/Cpk)
  • Why Use It?
    • Easy, menu-driven (Excel-like)
    • Strong for DOE and Six Sigma
    • Widely used in engineering

One-way Analysis of Variance

  • Example from Week 4, Module B
