Top Enhancements The Assistant © 2013 Minitab, Inc.

Making Data Analysis Even Easier ► Over the years, customers have told us: “The dialogs are too technical” “I don’t know which tool to use” “Minitab has too many options” © 2013 Minitab, Inc. “I need help interpreting my results”

Graphs Control Charts Capability ASSISTANT Regression DOE MSA Hypothesis Tests Designed for Green/Black Belts,

Assistant for DOE ► DOE easier than ever ► Most requested Assistant feature Screening

What value does it provide? ► Customers are already using DOE in core Minitab ► However, users really struggle with DOE: • Choosing the appropriate design • Analyzing the data is not always straightforward ► Easier for our users to: • • © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Plan and create experiments Analyze the data Conduct residuals analysis Find optimal settings

Assistant for Multiple Regression © 2013 Minitab, Inc.

What value does it provide? ► Regression is used everywhere ► Customers liked Minitab 16 Assistant, but only for 1 X ► Easier for our users to: • • © 2013 Minitab, Inc. Find significant factors Conduct residuals analysis Identify outliers Find optimal settings

Improved Graphical Analysis Easier Dialogs + More Extensive Output © 2013 Minitab, Inc.

What value does it provide? ► Better dialogs – e. g. shows categorical samples

Top Enhancements Regression & GLM © 2013 Minitab, Inc.

Easily specify factors Automatic model selection Regression Binary Logistic GLM More graphs © 2013

What value does it provide? ► CONSISTENCY across regression and GLM ► Better workflow (e. g. stepwise > model fitting), plus new model dialog and “view model” ► More statistical features: • Automatic model selection • Prediction • And more! ► More graphical features • Factorial, contour and surface plots plus response optimizer © 2013 Minitab, Inc.
