15.1 Description

This application will create a report on a dataset presenting a number of statistics. This automates the ongoing monitoring aspect of an Analysis Notebook, reducing the manual steps and creating reproducible results. The automated computations stem from having a statistical model for the data, often created in an analysis notebook, where alternative models are explored. This reflects variables with values in an expected range.

For industrial monitoring, this is part of an activity called Gage repeatability and reproducibility. The activity seeks to confirm that measurements are repeatable and reproducible. This is described as looking at a “measurement instrument.” While we often think of an instrument as being a machine or a device, the definition is actually very broad. A survey or questionnaire is a measurement instrument focused on people’s responses to questions.

When these computed statistics deviate from expectations, it suggests something...
