What is Statistics?

Descriptive Statistics


Methods that lead to the collection, tabulation,
summarization and presentation of data
Inferential Statistics

Methods that lead to conclusions, or estimates of
parameters, about a population (of size N)
based on summary measures (statistics) on a
sample (of size n) - in lieu of a census
Why Statistics?







Describe numerical information
Draw conclusions on a large population from
sample information only
Derive and test models
Understand and control variation
Improve quality of processes
Design experiments to extract maximum
information
Predict or affect future behavior
Variables

Categorical

Nominal



Mutually exclusive
Collectively exhaustive
Numerical


Discrete or Continuous
Scale



Ordered
Interval - equally spaced
Ratio - with absolute zero
Operational Definitions







Consistent between individuals
Stable over time
Sampling

Advantages




Introduction to
Quality Improvement

Quality = fitness of use


Meeting user/customer needs,
expectations, perceptions and experience
Quality of…



Design - intentional differences, grades
Conformance - meets/exceeds design
Performance - long-term consistency
History of
Quality Improvement
Middle Ages
> Industrial Revolution
> Information Age
Smith, Taylor, Ford, Shewhart, Deming

Themes of
Quality Improvement

The primary focus is on process improvement







Shewhart-Deming cycle: Plan, Do, Study, Act
Most of the variation in a process is systemic and
not due to the individual
Teamwork is an integral part of a qualitymanagement organization
Customer satisfaction - primary organizational goal
Organizational transformation needs to occur to
implement quality management
Fear must be removed from organizations
Higher quality costs less, not more, but it requires
an investment in training
Tables and Charts (Ch 2)


Also known as an Ishikawa or a
“fishbone” Diagram
Procedures or
methods
People or
personnel
Effect
Environment
Materials or
supplies
Machinery or
equipment
Time-Order Plots
Tables and Charts for
Numerical Data

Stem-and-Leaf Displays


Frequency Distribution



Poor man’s histogram
“Binning” by range
Histogram
Polygon
Concentration Diagrams



Data points overlaid on schematic or
picture of object or process of interest
By location
Displayed as individual symbols or
tallies
Tables and Charts for
Categorical Data


Bar Chart
Pie Chart


Almost always in percentages
Pareto Diagram





Side-by-Side (Cluster) Bar Chart

May prefer stacked bars with percentage data
Graphical Excellence

Tufte, “The Visual Display of Quantitative Information”


Data-ink Ratio


(data-ink)/(total ink used in graphic)
Chartjunk


Graphical excellence… gives the viewer the largest number
of ideas, in the shortest time, with the least ink - clearly,
precisely, efficiently, and truthfully
Non-data or redundant “ink”
Lie Factor

(size of effect in graph)/(size of effect in data)
Describing and Summarizing Data Descriptive Statistics (Ch 3)






Measures of
Central Tendency




Median



Most popular (peak) value(s) - can be multi-modal
