SN: Function for the signal-to-noise ratio 10 * log10(mean^2/var)

Description

Function for the signal-to-noise ratio 10 * log10(mean^2/var)

Usage

SN(x)

Value

a number (10 * log10(mean^2/var))

Arguments

x

a data vector to take the S/N ratio over

Author

Ulrike Groemping

Details

Taguchi proposes three different versions of S/N-ratio. In line with Box, Hunter and Hunter (2005), only the one for target-optimization is given here, as it is invariant against linear transformation.
