We investigate and develop methods for structural break detection, considering time series from thermal spraying process monitoring. Since engineers induce technical malfunctions during the processes, the time series exhibit structural breaks at known time points, giving us valuable information...

The development of high-quality products or production processes can often be greatly improved by statistically planned and analysed experiments. Taguchi methods proved to be a milestone in this field, suggesting optimal design settings for a single measured response. However, these often fail...

Recently, instead of transforming responses for the analysis of designed experiments, i. e. Taguchi-type-experiments like product or combined arrays, generalized linear models as suggested by Nelder and Lee (1991) have been used to jointly model the mean and dispersion of the response. For...

The paper reports a robust parameter design experiment, where we have used Taguchi's product array and a combined array simultaneously. This was done as part of a research project dealing with experimental design to optimise the process of sheet metal spinning. We found that the classical...

In this paper we examine two widely used methods to obtain a transformation in Taguchi experiments, namely the lambda plot and the beta technique. We consider different situations with contrasts influencing the mean and / or the variance of the response. Our simulation study reveals that the...
