Six Sigma statistical methodology using Minitab Problem Solving and Data Analysis using Minitab presents example-based learning to aid readers in understanding how to use MINITAB 16 for statistical analysis and problem solving. Each example and exercise is broken down into the exact steps that must be followed in order to take the reader through key learning points and work through complex analyses. Exercises are featured at the end of each example so that the reader can be assured that they have understood the key learning points. Key features: Provides readers with a step by step guide to problem solving and statistical analysis using Minitab 16 which is also compatible with version 15. Includes fully worked examples with graphics showing menu selections and Minitab outputs. Uses example based learning that the reader can work through at their pace. Contains hundreds of screenshots to aid the reader, along with explanations of the statistics being performed and interpretation of results. Presents the core statistical techniques used by Six Sigma Black Belts. Contains examples, exercises and solutions throughout, and is supported by an accompanying website featuring the numerous example data sets. Making Six Sigma statistical methodology accessible to beginners, this book is aimed at numerical professionals, students or academics who wish to learn and apply statistical techniques for problem solving, process improvement or data analysis whilst keeping mathematical theory to a minimum.

This book was written to provide guidance for those who need to apply statistical methods for practical use. While the book provides detailed guidance on the use of Minitab for calculation, simply entering data into a software program is not sufficient to reliably gain knowledge from data. The software will provide an answer, but the answer may be wrong if the sample was not taken properly, the data was unsuitable for the statistical test that was performed, or the wrong test was selected. It is also possible that the answer will be correct, but misinterpreted. This book provides both guidance in applying the statistical methods described as well as instructions for performing calculations without a statistical software program such as Minitab. One of the authors is a professional statistician who spent nearly 13 years working at Minitab and the other is an experienced and certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Together, they strive to present the knowledge of a statistician in a format that can be easily understood and applied by non-statisticians facing real-world problems. Their guidance is provided with the goal of making data analysis accessible and practical. Rather than focusing on theoretical concepts, the book delivers only the information that is critical to success for the practitioner. It is a thorough guide for those who have not yet been exposed to the value of statistics, as well as a reliable reference for those who have been introduced to statistics but are not yet confident in their abilities.

Quantitative data analysis is now a compulsory component of most degree courses in the social sciences and students are increasingly reliant on computers for the analysis of data. Quantitative Data Analysis with Minitab explains statistical tests for Minitab users using the same formulae free, non technical approach, as the very successful SPPS version. Students will learn a wide range of quantitative data analysis techniques and become familiar with how these techniques can be implemented through the latest version of Minitab. Techniques covered include univariate analysis (with frequency table, dispersion and histograms), bivariate (with contingency tables correlation, analysis of varience and non-parametric tests) and multivariate analysis (with multiple regression, path analysis, covarience and factor analysis). In addition the book covers issues such as sampling, statistical significance, conceptualisation and measurement and the selection of appropriate tests. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. Social science students will welcome this integrated, non mathematical introduction to quantitative data anlysis and the minitab package.

The Guide to Minitab includes both a Getting Started with Minitab section and hands-on, self-paced Tutorials designed to teach students how to use the software capabilities through a variety of approaches. The Tutorials cover all of the primary features and capabilities of MINITAB, including graphical and numerical methods for one and two or more variables, bivariate analysis, total quality management tools, time series analysis, and taking data from the web, to name a few. MINITAB is an easy-to-use general-purpose statistical computing package for analyzing data. It is a flexible and powerful tool that was designed from the beginning to be used by students and researchers new to statistics. It is now one of the most widely used statistics packages in the world. Minitab performs horribly tedious computations and produces accurate and professional quality graphs almost instantly. This power frees the user to focus on the exploration of the structure of the data and the interpretation of the output. MINITAB software not included.
