investigate_1
                     INVESTIGATE

Investigate any out-of-control points in your process.

                       DISCOVER

1. Any out of control pattern means that something is not normal.

2. Something different is going on. Something is affecting the
   process.

3. It is important to figure out what it is   --   good or bad.

                           ACT

1. If its bad, you have to track the cause and get rid of it.

2. If its good, you want to know too.  Then you can make sure
   that you keep doing things that way.

Use this menu to indicate what aspect, values and/or variability,
of your measurement data you wish to display.

   A. Values - Show the actual levels (values) of your process
               measurements.  Control charts which show process
               levels or values include individuals (RUN) and
               averages (XBAR).

   B. Variability - Show how your process measurements are
                    dispersed.  Control charts which show
                    process dispersion or variability include
                    range (R), standard deviation (S) and
                    moving range (MR).

   C. Both - Show both the level (values) and the variability
             of your process.  Charts which show both values
             and variability include individuals moving range
             (XMR), average and range (XBAR_R), and average
             and standard deviation (XBAR_S).  These are simply
             combinations of charts from A and B above.

using data in the Limits Range (I.A.B).  NOTE: the center
line is used as the process center when applying the "Western
Electric" rules during control chart analysis (selection D).
The center line can be determined using the folowing:


A. Mean (Average) (I.A.D.A)
    - Use the average of the data points in the LIMITS range
      to calculate the center line.  This is the most common
      method used to determine the process center line.

B. Median (I.A.D.B)
    - Use the median of the data points in the LIMITS range
      to calculate the center line.  This method is often
      to minimize the effect of outliers and unusual data
      values on the process center calculation.  The median
      is the value for which an equal number of data values
      fall above and below.

C. User Defined (I.A.D.C)
    - Use a value you provide as the process center.  THIS
      METHOD IS NOT RECOMMENDED!  Use at your own risk!

You may select the method used to calculate the control limits
using data in the Limits Range (I.A.B).  NOTE: the control
limits are used as +- 3 standard deviations when applying the
"Western Electric" rules during control chart analysis
(selection D).  The center line can be determined as folows:


A. TABLE look-up (I.A.E.A)
    - This approximates the control limits from statistical
      tables or formulas.  This is the traditional method
      used to calculate control limits.  In case where your
      process may be out of control in the LIMITS range,
      this method is recommended.

B. 3*Sigma(N) (I.A.E.B)
    - This approximates the control limits using +- 3 standard
      deviations with N degrees of freedom.  This method should
      only be used to calculate control limits, IF YOU ARE
      CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the
      LIMITS range.


C. 3*Sigma(N-1) (I.A.E.C)
    - This approximates the control limits using +- 3 standard
      deviations with N-1 degrees of freedom.  This method should
      only be used to calculate control limits, IF YOU ARE
      CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the
      LIMITS range.


D. M*Sigma(N) (I.A.E.D)
    - This approximates the control limits using +- M standard
      deviations with N degrees of freedom - where you are prompted
      for the value of M.  This method should only be used to calculate
      control limits, IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS
      STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the LIMITS range.  This is commonly
      used with M<3 in an attempt to reduce the variability of
      a stable, in-control process.


E. M*Sigma(N-1) (I.A.E.E)
    - This approximates the control limits using +- M standard
      deviations with N-1 degrees of freedom - where you are prompted
      for the value of M.  This method should only be used to calculate
      control limits, IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROCESS IS
      STABLE AND IN CONTROL in the LIMITS range.  This is commonly
      used with M<3 in an attempt to reduce the variability of
      a stable, in-control process.


F. 3*User-Defined-Sigma (I.A.E.F)
    - This approximates the control limits using +- 3 times a
      standard deviation you provide.  This method might be used
      in an attempt to reduce the variability of a stable, in-
      control process.  Several types of short run control charts
      (WAIT FOR NEXT RELEASE OF SPC EX) eliminate any need for
      this though.

    Control Chart Analysis Minimum Pattern Lengths (I.A.M)
                  (defaults given below)

You may use this to set the minimum length required for each
control chart out-of-control condition to be reported after
the automatic control chart analysis (selection D).  Various
"Western Electric" type rules are applied to test for these
conditions which suggest the presence of un-natural causes of
variation in a process.


A. run (I.A.M.A) [default: 7]
    - A run is and sequence of points which all fall on the
      same side of the center line.  A process which is in
      control (only natural causes of variation) should have
      values randomly above and below the centerline.


B. inc_trend (I.A.M.B) [default: 7]
    - An increasing trend is a sequence of points for which
      each is higher/larger than the previous.  A process which
      is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
      have values which are randomly above and below the
      preceeding value.


C. dec_trend (I.A.M.C) [default: 7]
    - A decreasing trend is a sequence of points for which
      each is lower/smaller than the previous.  A process which
      is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
      have values which are randomly above and below the
      preceeding value.


D. shift_up (I.A.M.D) [default: 10]
    - A shift-up is a sequence of points for which the first half
      is below the center line and the second half is above the
      center line.  A process which is in control (only natural
      causes of variation) should have values which are randomly
      above and below the center line.


E. shift_down (I.A.M.E) [default: 10]
    - A shift-down is a sequence of points for which the first half
      is above the center line and the second half is below the
      center line.  A process which is in control (only natural
      causes of variation) should have values which are randomly
      above and below the center line.


F. cyclic (I.A.M.F) [default: 10]
    - A cycle is a sequence of points which alternate up and down.
      A process which is in control (only natural causes of variation)
      should have values which are randomly above and below the
      preceeding value.


G. mixture (I.A.M.G) [default: 10]
    - A mixture is a sequence of points which are more than 1 sigma
      above or below the center line.  A normally distributed process
      which is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
      have about 68% of its values within +- 1 sigma (standard
      deviation) of its average (mean).


H. stratification (I.A.M.H) [default: 10]
    - Stratification is a sequence of points which are all within
      +- 1 sigma of the center line.  A normally distributed process
      which is in control (only natural causes of variation) should
      have about 32% of its values more than 1 sigma (standard
      deviation) above or below its average (mean).

SAVE_CFG_OPTIONS_HELP
             Save\retrieve Options File Help (I.I)

Current and past settings for options may be saved and recalled
for future use using this menu.  In particular, you can use this
menu to save the current options settings to a named (provided
by you) file (I.I.B) which can be later specifically referenced
in a data file ( *<file-name> on first line ).

A. Save Options for Start-ups (I.I.A)
    - This feature saves the current option settings to a default
      "options file" which is loaded every time you start the program.
      The default options file contains the option default settings
      until you chang it using this option (I.I.A).


B. Save Options to File (I.I.B)
    - Current option settings may also be saved to an "options file"
      named by you.  This file can be used with Multiple Chart files
      to display the output using the specified options file.  If the
      special "options file" is to be used for all charts/graphs in
      the Multiple Chart, the filename would appear in the first line
      with an asterisk next to it.  For example, if the special "options
      file" is called "myopts.cfg", a Multiple Chart file may look like
      this:

                    *myopts.cfg
                    Title
                    Subtitle
                    GPA.DAT BAR
                    GPA.DAT PARETO
                    GPA.DAT PIE

      If the special "options file" is to be used for a specific chart
      or graph the file name is entered after the chart type.  The
      Multiple Chart data file may look like this:

                    Title
                    Subtitle
                    GPA.DAT BAR
                    GPA.DAT PARETO myopts.cfg
                    GPA.DAT PIE


C. Load Start-up Options (I.I.C)
    - Use this to load the Start-up options file.  This is the file
      updated using selection (I.I.A).


D. Load Options from File (I.I.D)
    - Current options settings may also be saved to an "Options" file
      that you name/create (I.I.B).  Use this option to load a
      user-defined options file.


E. Reset Options to Defaults (I.I.E)
    - You may also easily reset all the options to the original SPCEX
      software default settings using this selection.  This is
      particularly useful if you have changed a lot of options and
      want to start over with the default settings.

      ***  This does not affect the options settings in the Start-up
           options file that are loaded when the program is re-started.
           You must save the default settings (I.I.A) after resetting
           the options to their defaul to change the start-up settings.
