The platform provides seamless, secure, federated access to over 6,000 definitive data sets from over 150 Government agencies. The platform also provides over 100 tools covering the gamut of spatial statistics and data analysis. Prof Sinnott and his Melbourne eResearch Group (www.eresearch.unimelb.edu.au) have supported the design, development and delivery and support of AURIN throughout its lifetime. This talk will cover the background to AURIN; the challenges that were faced in development of AURIN and the future plans for AURIN. The platform has been accessed and used over 300,000 times by diverse research communities across Australia.","PeriodicalId":325859,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Statistics: Theory and Applications","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115277549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Leveraged Study Design for Identifying Dominant Causes of Variation","authors":"Mahsa Mahsa, S. Steiner, J. D. Mast","doi":"10.11159/icsta22.163","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11159/icsta22.163","url":null,"abstract":"Extended Abstract Excessive variation in critical to quality process outputs is a common challenge in manufacturing industries. For variation reduction, most process quality improvement (variation reduction) frameworks follow Juran’s diagnostic and remedial journeys [1], that is, first using some methods to find the cause(s) of output variation (the diagnosis) and then, seeking a solution for eliminating the effect of the identified cause(s) (the remedy). Among all causes of variation, usually only a few have a big impact on the overall variability [2]. Shainin refers to them as the dominant cause(s) [3, 4]. Finding the dominant cause(s) requires a systematic strategy. The Shainin System TM [3, 5] is a coherent statistical stepwise variation reduction strategy with several problem-solving techniques. One of the techniques associated with the Shainin System TM that aims to help identifying the suspect dominant causes is group comparison , which exploits the concept of leveraging by comparing the extreme parts [5]. To do so, we select two groups of six or more (typically eight) parts, one group consisting of parts with large and the other with low quality characteristic values. Then, only for these selected parts, we measure as many suspect dominant cause input characteristic ’s as possible. If is a dominant cause, its values must be substantially different between the two groups. Shainin [3] suggests using the Tukey end-count test [6] to compare the values in the two groups. Although the investigation plan based on leveraging is an efficient way of gathering information in searching for a dominant cause using relatively small sample size, the Shainin analysis procedure is less than ideal.","PeriodicalId":325859,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Statistics: Theory and Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115478615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is always a challenging problem on how to analyze those massive amounts of data effectively for cost reduction and quality improvements in all manufacturing companies. This presentation will discuss research opportunities, challenges, and advancements in this important research area, especially how machine learning concepts and algorithms can be used to solve challenging quality improvement problems. Examples of ongoing research projects will be used to articulate the frontiers of this research area. All examples come from real data and problem in industrial production systems. This presentation will emphasize the motivations of these research undertakings: challenges to be overcome, new methods that were developed, validation/implementation undertook, as well as the potential impacts.","PeriodicalId":325859,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Statistics: Theory and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125392832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
