A case study: Comparing testers for means and variances in a balanced incomplete block design

In this article, we present a gauge R & R study that is different from the standard setup in several ways. A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) was used to collect the data because the measurement is destructive. Besides addressing reproducibility, differences in repeatability (i.e., tester variances) were also of interest. Here we use Bayesian methods to analyze the study data to address whether the three tester means and variances are similar. We also consider what happens if the BIBD structure of the data and possibly different tester variances are ignored in analyzing the study data.

Alternative Designs and Analyses for Destructive and Non-replicable Gauge R &R Studies

This article presents new designs and their analyses for destructive and non-replicable gauge R & R studies. Less restrictive assumptions about destructive measurements on “similar” parts and non-replicable measurements made over time or space than have been made previously in the literature are proposed; only couples of “nearly identical” parts are proposed for destructive measurements and quadruples involving two operators are proposed for non-replicable measurements that avoid having to estimate a common trend and removing it. In this work, these new designs based on balanced incomplete block designs and their analyses are illustrated with simulated examples that confirm that with them such measurements systems can be assessed.
