Predictive Quality Control Charts Startup Panel
Ribbon bar. Select the Statistics tab. In the Industrial Statistics group, click Predictive to display the Predictive Quality Control Charts Startup Panel. Another way to display this Startup Panel is to select the Data Mining tab. In the Tools group, click Optimizations and from the menu, select QC Charts - Predictive Quality Control.
Classic menus. On the Data Mining - Process Optimization - QC Charts submenu, select Predictive Quality Control to display the Predictive Quality Control Charts Startup Panel.
The Startup Panel contains three tabs: Quick, Variables, and Attributes.
The types of charts available are discussed in greater detail in the documentation for the Quality Control Charts module. Unlike the charts generated by Quality Control, you can use the options available from this Startup Panel to:
- Specify more than one variable at a time to generate multiple quality control charts for lists of variables (in this respect these options are identical to those described for the Quality Control Charts for Variable Lists Startup Panel).
- Compute various statistics to identify recurrent patterns and autocorrelations in the quality or yield over time (i.e., over successively measured items) and to forecast future observations using the best Neural Networks model.
Refer to the Introductory Overview for additional details regarding these techniques; refer also to Quality Control Introductory Overview - Common Types of Charts for a description of the different types of charts available in this module.
