Product Description

Cutting-edge measurement technology for multidimensional systems
The Mahalanobis-Taguchi Strategy presents methods for developing multidimensional measurement scales that are up to date with the most current trends in multivariate diagnosis/pattern recognition-namely, using measures and procedures that are data analytic and not dependent upon the distribution of the characteristics defining the system. Applications for these measurement scales are also explored across a wide range of disciplines from manufacturing to medicine.
This book presents methods that integrate mathematical and statistical concepts such as Mahalanobis distance and Gram-Schmidt's orthogonalization method with the principles of Taguchi methods. These completely new systems of measurement and analysis move beyond anything Dr. Taguchi has done in the past. Coverage includes the refined Mahalanobis-Taguchi system, the Mahalanobis-Taguchi-Gram-Schmidt method, the Adjoint Matrix method, and other advanced topics, along with a detailed examination of each method. In addition to examining how real-world problems are solved using these methods, critical comparisons are made between the methods covered here and existing multivariate diagnosis/pattern recognition techniques.
The Mahalanobis-Taguchi Strategy: A Pattern Technology System is an essential book for engineers, designers, and statistical quality experts and programmers in the fields of engineering and computer science, as well as researchers in finance, medicine, statistics, and general science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally A Book To Understand MTS & MTGS, November 23, 2005

By	Joerg Krause (Stuttgart / Germany) - See all my reviews

If you want to learn how to use Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) to solve real case problems and design robust maltivariate systems using orthogonal arrays, buy this book. It is easy to understand to read and to follow the content. The case studies gives a clear idea how to use MTS and Robust Engineering and the potential of both extracting the required information from many variables efficiently. You learn how to use MTS for inspection, diagnosis systems. But you can develop your own ideas e.g. for software testing and screening purposes etc.
