This document analyzes data from samples taken of a manufacturing process to determine if it is operating satisfactorily. It summarizes the sample sizes, means, and standard deviations. Hypothesis tests are run and none of the samples show evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean is 12. While more samples may be needed to better understand variability, the analysis shows the process means are within limits and no corrective action is currently required. Changing the significance level could result in rejecting the null hypothesis for some samples.

TNR2013 Ron Burt, Network Advantage on How the Network Was BuiltSteven Wardell
1. The document analyzes network data from four annual panels on 346 investment bankers to examine how network advantage relates to compensation.
2. Network advantage is measured using network eigenvector centrality and constraint. Regression models show compensation is positively associated with centrality and negatively associated with constraint, both within and between years.
3. Volatility in networks is treated as noise - relations that occur in only one year are weighted less than those that persist across multiple years. Stability in networks is privileged in the analysis to better reveal enduring social clusters and compensation returns to network advantage.

This document summarizes the shape context algorithm for shape matching and object recognition. It discusses computing shape contexts, which describe the distribution of relative positions of points around a shape. Shape contexts are represented as histograms of distances and angles between points. The algorithm finds correspondences between points on two shapes by matching their shape contexts and minimizing the total cost. Additional cost terms can be added, such as color or texture differences. The algorithm is shown to be robust to noise and inexact rotations.

• More samples are required in order to determine
variability in the process.
• The samples can be collected at different time &
days of operation to monitor the process
effectively.
• The sample standard deviation varies within the
sample.
• As all the Same Mean are within limited thus No
corrective action is required.
• As the value of α is changed to larger value, the P
value reduces leading to rejection of Null
