  1. Building Core Concepts with Computational Software Robert H. Carver Stonehill College Easton MA August 9, 2004

  2. Population Sample Variation Observation vs. Experiment Cross-section vs. longitudinal data Comparison Standardization Probability “Random” Random sampling “Error” Sampling error Statistical control Confidence Distribution Null hypothesis Association Causation Statistical significance vs. Practical significance Power Model Core Concept Candidates JSM Toronto Session 154

  3. Concepts for this segment • Variation • Statistical control • Sampling Error JSM Toronto Session 154

  4. ASQ on Statistical Thinking • All work occurs in a system of interconnected processes • Variation exists in all processes • Understanding and reducing variation are keys to success JSM Toronto Session 154

  5. A tale of continuous improvement… Wright 1904 Flyer over Huffman Prairie, Dayton OH JSM Toronto Session 154

  6. Wilbur Wright on Control, 1901 “This inability to balance and steer still confronts students of the flying problem…. “When this one feature has been worked out, the age of flying machines will have arrived, for all other difficulties are of minor importance.” JSM Toronto Session 154

  7. Variation: What’s up with that? JSM Toronto Session 154

  8. Mean flight velocity JSM Toronto Session 154

  9. Shape—velocity & distance JSM Toronto Session 154

  10. Comparison: assignable cause? JSM Toronto Session 154

  11. Comparison: assignable cause? JSM Toronto Session 154

  12. Control & shrinking variation JSM Toronto Session 154

  13. Control JSM Toronto Session 154

  14. Developing a feel for Sampling Error JSM Toronto Session 154

  15. Developing a feel for Sampling Error One-Sample T: Samp1, Samp2, Samp3, Samp4, Samp5, Samp6, Samp7, ...

  16. Guiding Principles • Focus on reading the story in the data • Rely on software to facilitate building the concepts • Quick, interactive analysis to seize teachable moments • Demonstration, discovery, iteration JSM Toronto Session 154
