Feature & Method Selection Startup Panel
Ribbon bar. Select the Data Mining tab. In the Tools group, click Optimizations and from the menu, select Root Cause Analysis to display the Feature & Method Selection Startup Panel.
Classic menus. On the Data Mining - Process Optimization submenu, select Root Cause Analysis to display the Feature & Method Selection Startup Panel.
The Startup Panel contains one tab: Quick.
The purpose of the methods available here is to enable engineers to quickly identify predictors of good or bad quality, i.e., to uncover the root causes for the respective outcomes under investigation. Refer to the Quality Control and Process Optimization Introductory Overview and the brief descriptions available in the documentation for the Quick tab to learn more about the available techniques.
- OK
- Click the OK button to display the specification dialog box of the analysis selected from the Quick tab.

- Open Data
- Click the Open Data button to display the Select Data Source dialog box, which is used to choose the spreadsheet on which to perform the analysis. The Select Data Source dialog box contains a list of the spreadsheets that are currently active.
- SELECT CASES
- Click the SELECT CASES button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Selection Conditions dialog box, which is used to create conditions for which cases will be included (or excluded) in the current analysis. More information is available in the Case Selection Conditions Overview, Case Selection Conditions Syntax Summary, and Case Selection Conditions dialog box description.
- W
- Click the W (Weight) button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Weights dialog box, which is used to adjust the contribution of individual cases to the outcome of the current analysis by "weighting" those cases in proportion to the values of a selected variable. Note that this module will apply only integer case weights (and round fractional case weights to the nearest integer value), and treat them as simple case multipliers.
