Pareto diagram

Pareto diagrams only apply on DOE Full factorial and Central composite.

It is used to determine which factor or group of factors are the most influential
regarding a response.

It is a bar chart. Each bar represent, the contribution in percentage of a factor or group
of factors on the variation of a given response.

A blue bar means that the contribution is positive while a red bar means that the
contribution is negative. A factor has a positive contribution if the value of the
response increase when the factor goes from low to high level.

When Pareto diagram is selected, the dynamic part of the dialog box is as shown in
the following figure.

Select the response you want to consider using the dropdown list and click on the OK
button.
If you do not want to display meaningless factors, set a threshold which is not 0: the
factors or group of factors with a contribution smaller than the threshold value will
not be displayed.

You must wait the end of the design exploration process to create such a plot.

This type of plot cannot be updated.
