Advanced Statistical Methods and Tools for Product Design
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.
- Learn more...
Monte Carlo Analysis- Assess the magnitude and shape of response variation caused by the variation of the parameters.
- Learn more...
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.)
- Learn more...
Optimization- Search for new parameter values that will drive multiple response values to desired targets.
