It’s been quite a while since business intelligence was the sole province of high-level strategic planners and C-level executives. Today, BI tools and analytics insights are being used by increasing numbers of people to answer immediate tactical questions and identify optimal courses of action. This trend has been enabled and accelerated by the consumerization of IT and the “democratization” of tech knowledge. As…

For statistical process control, a number of single charts that jointly monitor both process mean and variability recently have been developed. For quality control-related hypothesis testing, however, there has been little analogous development of joint mean-variance tests: only one two-sample statistic that is not computationally intensive has been designed specifically for the one-sided test of Ho: Mean2<=Mean1 and StDev2<=StDev1 vs. Ha: Mean2>Mean1 OR StDev2>StDev1 (see…
