OVERVIEW OF APOGEE


Apogee is the statistical analysis, allocation and optimization engine of the SDI Tools. Apogee works with mathematical functions Y=f(X) that you create freeform in Excel workbooks. Each X is specified in Apogee as a parameter that can have statistical variation. Each Y is specified in Apogee as a response that is a mathematical function of the parameters. Apogee then provides statistical capabilities for assessing and improving the variation of the responses.

The statistical capabilities of Apogee are:

Sensitivity Analysis

Assess the magnitude of response variation caused by the variation of the parameters.

Monte Carlo Analysis

Assess the magnitude and shape of response variation caused by the variation of the parameters.

Allocation

Identify the allowable amount of parameter variation that will improve response variation to a desired level. (Often referred to as statistical tolerancing or requirements flowdown.)

Optimization

Search for new parameter values that will drive multiple response values to desired targets.
