4 out of 5 stars Siz Sigma Statistics with Excel and Minitab   December 12, 2008
Boris A. Mutafelija (Fairfax, VA, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a great book filled with the statistical technques, examples and associated solutions. It provides nice balance between the statistical theory and solutions using Excel and Minitab. The Minitab examples are easy to follow and implement in the Minitab tool (I did not use Excel.). The CD provided with the book is quite useful enabling one to use existing files rather than spending time typing data into the tool. In some instances it is not clear how to implement examples in Minitab; it would be helpful if the author described why certain Minitab options were selected instead of just pointing to the appropriate menu or dialog box.
In summary - this book provides a very helpful assistance in using Minitab for solving variety of statistical problems at a very reasonable price.



3 out of 5 stars Good for Minitab application but too many errors   November 22, 2008
Kazuhide Kuwahara (Durham, NC USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

The author successfully achieved his purpose of explaining Six Sigma statistics using Minitab and Excel; however, I found numerous errors in his explanations of statistical methods and in his conclusions in some examples. I noticed 184 major and minor errors in this book, of which simple typo errors counted only 11. Mr. Bass failed to use Minitab's "Design of Experiment" feature in the chapter titled "Design of Experiment" and explained ANOVA instead, which could have been included in the chapter "Analysis of Variance." He also misapplied Taguchi's Loss Function in Chapter 12. Taguchi's Method usually means his Robust Design Method in DOE rather than his Loss Function.

It seems that Mr. Bass does not have formal training in statistics or mathematics. His understanding of factors, levels, and observations in ANOVA is questionable (p.207, p.211, p.218, p.276) and subscripting in his mathematics was a mess (pp.179-181, p.208, p.222, p.223, p.227). The direction of skewness in the normal distribution was wrong. These errors could have been avoided if Mr. Bass had asked his fellow statistician or mathematician to review his draft copy of this book. The responsibility also goes to the editor of McGraw Hill.

In conclusion, please read this book critically and learn how to use Minitab or Excel for Six Sigma analyses, keeping other statistics textbooks at hand.



4 out of 5 stars Good stuff   May 15, 2008
Cristobal Ramirez Gamero (MADRID, MADRID Spain)
Very good deployment of topics. To expand those topics more in deep (e.g.: Taguchi) could be even better. Excel & Minitab examples very useful but not developed within same Excel (or Minitab) solution spreadsheets.

As a BB I find this book really useful. Each chapter has a clear structure, that helps the reader to fully understand the topics.
Lot of examples and exercises make the reader capable to fully understand the theory and to apply it to real problems.
I suggest all the BBs to have this book.
