This year's ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement will be held at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington between April 30 and May 2. If you'll be there, come visit Statgraphics Technologies at exhibit booth #408. We'll show you the many new features that have been added to Statgraphics Version 18.

Professionals who deal with quality will be specially interested in:

• New Definitive Screening Designs added to the DOE Wizard that often allow optimization to be performed without running additional experiments.
• New Capability Control Charts for monitoring indices such as C_p and C_pk.
• A new Capability Statlet which estimates process capability indices using both classical and Bayesian methods.
• Special data file types for dealing with Big Data.
• A new procedure for estimating Multivariate Capability.
• Multivariate Tolerance Limits for bounding related variables.
• New procedures for demonstrating Equivalence or Noninferiority.
• A collection of new Statlets for Data Visualization.
• An expanded interface to R with access to packages for machine learning including Classification and Regression Trees, Text Mining, and Multidimensional Scaling.

You'll also have a chance to talk with Dr. Neil Polhemus about his new book titled Process Capability Analysis: Estimating Quality (2018) published by CRC Press.
