Process Improvement using Data

A Python package for multivariate data analysis, designed experiments, and process monitoring. It covers offline model-building (PCA, PLS, TPLS) and on-line, self-updating monitoring (adaptive PCA / PLS), a designed-experiments engine that reaches past the textbook catalogue (OMARS and D-/I-/A-optimal designs, with a design-quality scorer), control charts, batch-process analysis, and descriptive sensory-panel analysis. Companion to the online textbook Process Improvement using Data.
