Analytical Tools

Stat-Forge Tools and Calculators

Practical statistical, engineering, SPC, capability, and MSA calculators for coursework, quality engineering, and applied process analysis. Most tools support CSV upload, example data, and direct manual entry.

Phase 1 calculator expansion

From basic statistics to advanced process monitoring

The calculator collection is organized as a practical workflow: measurement-system analysis, distribution and homogeneity checks, process stability, process capability, and supporting statistical or engineering calculations. The advanced Stat-Forge material extends this path into PCA monitoring, Tensor SPC, Tensor Q residual monitoring, and structured-data diagnostics.

Use the statistical diagnostics on this page to evaluate data quality, distribution assumptions, variance consistency, and measurement system performance before applying process monitoring, capability studies, or decision-making methods.

Measurement System Analysis

Start by confirming that the measurement system can produce useful data before drawing conclusions about the process.

Distribution, Normality & Homogeneity

Use these tools to understand whether the data are approximately normal, whether groups are similarly distributed, and which distribution best describes the process.

Process Stability

After the data and measurement system are understood, use control charts to determine whether the process is stable before calculating capability.

Process Capability

Use capability tools after the measurement system is acceptable, distribution assumptions are understood, and the process is stable.

Statistical Analysis & Planning

Use these tools for supporting calculations, planning, uncertainty, and general statistical analysis.
