Overlaid Contour Plot
|
|
Use overlaid contour plots to jointly evaluate multiple responses. Minitab draws contours for each response and overlays them in a single graph. Overlaid contour plots can help you identify variable settings that optimize a single response or set of responses.
Contour plots for regression show how response variables relate to two continuous variables while holding the rest of the variables in the model at fixed settings.
Data Description |
|
A manufacturer produces molded resin parts. Contamination in hoses and abrasions to resin pellets can lead to discolored streaks in the final product. Higher temperatures and faster rates of transfer can cause pellets to clump together. Clumps can be difficult to move through hoses and into molds. The company collects data on the number of defects per hour.
