I just uploaded a new video on the book's  You Tube channel:  Control Chart Part 2 of 2 -- which to use when.

I'm not sure at this point what will come next. But I'll announce it on this blog.

​A Line Chart uses lines to connect points that have adjacent values on the horizontal axis. 

     It is often used to illustrate trends, with the horizontal axis representing time. 

     It is also used to graph cause-and-effect, in which the x Variable (horizontal axis) is the Factor which causes the effect in the y Variable (vertical axis). In the center chart above, an increase in the Factor Variable, water temperature, causes an increase in the Effect Variable, cleanliness. This is used in Regression analysis and in the Designed Experiments which are conducted to test a Regression Model. 

​     The rightmost chart combines two line charts into one. It has the same x and y Variables as the center chart, but it adds a second Factor (x) Variable, Detergent type. So, there are two lines, connecting two sets of data points. In 2-Way ANOVA, crossing lines indicate that there is an Interaction between the two Factors. In this case, an increase in temperature has the opposite effect for the two detergent types – it makes Detergent #1 do better, and it makes Detergent #2 do worse. If the lines were parallel or did not cross, then there would be no Interaction. 
In a similar fashion, a Line Chart can help differentiate between Observed and Expected Frequencies in a Chi-Square test for Goodness of Fit.

I just uploaded a new video to YouTube: youtu.be/zr-zP_jmPhQ

This video explains the general concepts of Control Charts, which are used in process statistics (as in the Six Sigma discipline).
