A few new features “Quality People” might like

Gage R&R Study (Expanded) – Include additional factors, analyze studies that are balanced or unbalanced, specify if factors are fixed or random, and more.

Compare two capability analyses to see if the process has improved. General Regression – Easily specify interaction and polynomial

terms, compute confidence intervals for regression coefficients, and more.

Export to PowerPoint and Word – Directly export your graphs and Session window output for easy reporting.

Nonlinear Regression – Model non-linear relationships between variables.

Power and Sample Size – Use seven new tools to calculate power and sample size.

5

More power and sample size options

Minitab® provides power, sample size, and difference (effect) calculations for the following procedures: ·    one-sample Z ·    one-sample t ·    two-sample t ·    paired t ·    one variance test ·    two variances test ·    one-sample proportion ·    two-sample proportion ·    one-sample Poisson rate ·    two-sample Poisson rate ·    one-way analysis of variance ·    two-level factorial designs ·    Plackett-Burman designs ·    General Full Factorial designs

You can also estimate the sample size you need to obtain a specific margin of error using Sample Size for Estimation.

Output is much nicer

Typical output is a 3-4 page report. Each page can be copied as a graphic to Word or PowerPoint with a right click.

Such as this 3 page report from a 2-sample t-test.

DataUnusual There are no unusual data points. Unusual data can have a strong influence on the results.

Normality

checked with small samples, you should use caution when interpreting the test results.distributed, the p-value may be inaccurate with small samples. Because normality cannot be reliablyBecause the sample size of A is less than 15, normality can be an issue. I f the data are not normally

SizeSample The sample is sufficient to detect a difference between the means.

A warning about using Minitab® Assistant

Minitab® has tried to make these platforms as simple and easy to use as they could. In doing so, sometimes they took a slightly different statistical approach than the traditional one. So the p-values may not always match up exactly.
