The development of high-quality products or production processes can often be greatly improved by statistically planned and analysed experiments. Taguchi methods proved to be a milestone in this field, suggesting optimal design settings for a single measured response. However, these often fail...

In this paper we examine two widely used methods to obtain a transformation in Taguchi experiments, namely the lambda plot and the beta technique. We consider different situations with contrasts influencing the mean and / or the variance of the response. Our simulation study reveals that the...

The paper reports a robust parameter design experiment, where we have used Taguchi's product array and a combined array simultaneously. This was done as part of a research project dealing with experimental design to optimise the process of sheet metal spinning. We found that the classical...

Categorical data occur in a wide range of statistical applications. If the data are observed in matched pairs, it is often of interest to examine the differences between the responses. We concentrate on tests of axial symmetry in two-way tables. A commonly used procedure is the Bowker test which...

Observations which seem to deviate strongly from the main part of the data may occur in every statistical analysis. These observations usually labelled as outliers, may cause completely misleading results when using standard methods and may also contain information about special events or...
