... Common cause variability versus assignable cause variability Common cause variability comes from random fluctuation inherent to the process. Assignable cause variability is avoidable and not part of the process. SPC takes advantage of our knowledge about the standardized distribution of these measur ...

1 Statistical Tests of Hypotheses
... A company is advertising that the average lifetime of their light bulbs is 1000 hours. You might question this, and want to show that in fact the lifetime is shorter. You would test H0 : µ ≥ 1000 versus Ha : µ < 1000. Rejection of H0 would then support your claim. However, nonrejection of H0 doesn’t ...

Situations when the data has extreme outliers or strong skewness require larger samples for the t-confidence interval to be reliable. T-confidence interva ...

... One way to raise the flag for a suspected outlier is to compare the distance from the suspicious data point to the nearest quartile (Q1 or Q3). We then compare this distance to the interquartile range (distance between Q1 and Q3). We call an observation a suspected outlier if it falls more than 1.5 ...

Bootstrapping (statistics)
In statistics, bootstrapping can refer to any test or metric that relies on random sampling with replacement. Bootstrapping allows assigning measures of accuracy (defined in terms of bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error or some other such measure) to sample estimates. This technique allows estimation of the sampling distribution of almost any statistic using random sampling methods. Generally, it falls in the broader class of resampling methods.Bootstrapping is the practice of estimating properties of an estimator (such as its variance) by measuring those properties when sampling from an approximating distribution. One standard choice for an approximating distribution is the empirical distribution function of the observed data. In the case where a set of observations can be assumed to be from an independent and identically distributed population, this can be implemented by constructing a number of resamples with replacement, of the observed dataset (and of equal size to the observed dataset).It may also be used for constructing hypothesis tests. It is often used as an alternative to statistical inference based on the assumption of a parametric model when that assumption is in doubt, or where parametric inference is impossible or requires complicated formulas for the calculation of standard errors.
