Nonlinear Profiles with R

Part of the Use R! book series (USE R)

Abstract

In many situations, processes are often represented by a function that involves a response variable and a number of predictive variables. In this chapter, we show how to treat data whose relation between the predictive and response variables is nonlinear and, as a consequence, cannot be adequately represented by a linear model. This kind of data are known as nonlinear profiles. Our aim is to show how to build nonlinear control limits and a baseline prototype using a set of observed in-control profiles. Using R, we show how to afford situations in which nonlinear profiles arise and how to plot easy-to-use nonlinear control charts.

Keywords

  • Nonlinear Profile
  • Control Charts
  • Baseline Prototype
  • Predictor Variables
  • Response Variables

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
