There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Robust Design, Modeling and Optimization of Measurement Systems
Speaker: Tirthankar Dasgupta, Georgia Tech
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss an integrated approach for estimation and reduction of measurement variation (and its components) through a single parameter design experiment. The noise factors are classified into a few distinct categories based on their impact on the measurement system. A random coefficients model that accounts for the effect of control factors and each category of noise factors on the signal-response relationship is proposed. A suitable performance measure is developed using this general model, and conditions under which it reduces to the usual dynamic signal-to-noise (SN) ratio are discussed. Two different data analysis strategies -- response function modeling (RFM) and performance measure modeling (PMM) -- for modeling and optimization are proposed and compared.
Tirthankar Dasgupta was a PhD student in ISyE working with Professor Jeff Wu. He is now a postdoc and will join Department of Statistics at Harvard University in the next year.
