Overview

About

Maintained by Emilio L. CanoFirst published 2011-03-0427 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Functions and utilities to perform Statistical Analyses in the Six Sigma way. Through the DMAIC cycle (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), you can manage several Quality Management studies: Gage R&R, Capability Analysis, Control Charts, Loss Function Analysis, etc. Data frames used in the books "Six Sigma with R" [ISBN 978-1-4614-3652-2] and "Quality Control with R" [ISBN 978-3-319-24046-6], are also included in the package.
