ss.rr: Gage R & R (Measurement System Assessment)

Description

Performs Gage R&R analysis for the assessment of the measurement system of a process. Related to the Measure phase of the DMAIC strategy of Six Sigma.

Usage

ss.rr(
  var,
  part,
  appr,
  lsl = NA,
  usl = NA,
  sigma = 6,
  tolerance = usl - lsl,
  data,
  main = "Six Sigma Gage R&R Study",
  sub = "",
  alphaLim = 0.05,
  errorTerm = "interaction",
  digits = 4,
  method = "crossed",
  print_plot = TRUE,
  signifstars = FALSE
)

Value

Analysis of Variance Table/s. Variance composition and %Study Var. Graphics.

anovaTable

The ANOVA table of the model

anovaRed

The ANOVA table of the reduced model (without interaction, only if interaction not significant)

varComp

A matrix with the contribution of each component to the total variation

studyVar

A matrix with the contribution to the study variation

ncat

Number of distinct categories

Arguments

var

Measured variable

part

Factor for parts

appr

Factor for appraisers (operators, machines, ...)

lsl

Numeric value of lower specification limit used with USL to calculate Study Variation as %Tolerance

usl

Numeric value of upper specification limit used with LSL to calculate Study Variation as %Tolerance

sigma

Numeric value for number of std deviations to use in calculating Study Variation

tolerance

Numeric value for the tolerance

data

Data frame containing the variables

main

Main title for the graphic output

sub

Subtitle for the graphic output (recommended the name of the project)

alphaLim

Limit to take into account interaction

errorTerm

Which term of the model should be used as error term (for the model with interation)

digits

Number of decimal digits for output

method

Character to specify the type of analysis to perform, "crossed" (default) or "nested"

print_plot

if TRUE (default) the plots are printed. Change to FALSE to avoid printing plots.

signifstars

if FALSE (default) the significance stars are ommitted. Change to TRUE to allow printing stars.

Details

Performs an R&R study for the measured variable, taking into account part and appraiser factors. It outputs the sources of Variability, and six graphs: bar chart with the sources of Variability, plots by appraiser, part and interaction and x-bar and R control charts.
