2. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Top EnhancementsThe Assistant

3. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Making Data Analysis Even Easier ►Over the years, customers have told us: “I don’t know which tool to use” “Minitab has too many options” “The dialogs are too technical” “I need help interpreting my results”

4. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Designed for Green/Black Belts, occasional users, and those who are new to statistics or Minitab ASSISTANT Graphs Capability Regres- sion Hypothesis Tests MSA DOE Control Charts

5. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Assistant for DOE ►DOE easier than ever ►Most requested Assistant feature Screening designs Modeling designs (x & x 2 ) 2 6-15 factors 2-5 factors

6. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. What value does it provide? ►Customers are already using DOE in core Minitab ►However, users really struggle with DOE: Choosing the appropriate design Analyzing the data is not always straightforward ►Easier for our users to: Plan and create experiments Analyze the data Conduct residuals analysis Find optimal settings

7. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Assistant for Multiple Regression

8. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. What value does it provide? ►Regression is used everywhere ►Customers liked Minitab 16 Assistant, but only for 1X ►Easier for our users to: Find significant factors Conduct residuals analysis Identify outliers Find optimal settings

9. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Improved Graphical Analysis Easier Dialogs + More Extensive Output

10. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. What value does it provide? ►Better dialogs – e.g. shows categorical samples ►Diagnostic reports with guidance ►Report card with next steps

11. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Top EnhancementsRegression & GLM

12. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Easily specify factors Automatic model selection More graphs Response optimizer Regression Binary Logistic GLM

13. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. What value does it provide? ►CONSISTENCY across regression and GLM ►Better workflow (e.g. stepwise > model fitting), plus new model dialog and “view model” ►More statistical features: Automatic model selection Prediction And more! ►More graphical features Factorial, contour and surface plots plus response optimizer

14. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Binary Fitted Line Plot + other graphs

15. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Top EnhancementsDesign of Experiments

16. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Automatic model selection

17. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Response Optimizer for General Factorial Designs (>2 levels)

18. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Response Surface with Categorical Factors

19. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. DOE dialog changes Alpha moved from Graphs to Options, called “Confidence level” Box-Cox for Factorial and RS Effects, main effects and interaction plots display all terms, includes excluded terms Cube plots of fitted values available for reduced models Response optimizer changes: – Factorial allows for constraints – Doesn’t require min/max value – Only displays composite desirability for >1 X – Provides CI and PI tables

20. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Additional Features

21. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Assistant Stacked data option for 2-sample tests Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit up to 12 levels (from 6) Capability analysis for unequal subgroup sizes Before/after control charts, plus Laney charts And more… ►Bubble Plots Graph multiple variables in a 2D space

22. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Outlier Tests Grubbs’ and Dixon’s ►Poisson Regression Model count data (Y), typically low counts/rare events Examples: number of machine failures, C-sections

23. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Practical application In 1898, Ladislaus Bortkiewicz’s investigation of the number of Prussian army soldiers killed by horse kicks ►Example Residents in rural Tanzania are being attacked by lions, frequently resulting in severe injury and death f (x) = y Poisson Regression

24. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Lunar Cycle Days Xs Above/Below Horizon Y

25. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Equivalence Tests to determine if mean(s) are similar enough to be considered equivalent

26. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Stability Studies Pharmaceuticals Determine shelf-life

27. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Stacked and unstacked all-in-one menu ►Welch’s method For unequal variances First introduced in Minitab 16 Assistant ►Comparisons graphs ►Games-Howell comparisons method for unequal variances One-Way ANOVA

28. © 2013 Minitab, Inc. ►Chi-Square Test for Association No longer “Two-Way Table…” Raw or summarized data for 2-way tables Can specify Session labels for 2-way tables ►Cross Tab and Chi-Square Raw or summarized/table data McNemar’s Test for 2x2 paired proportions  Chi-Square Tests
