Heatmap/Contour Plot for Assessing Power of the PPQ Plan using Tolerance Interval.

Source: R/ti_ctplot.R

The function for plotting the heatmap to evaluate the PPQ plan based on the specification test, given lower and upper specification limits.

ti_ctplot(attr.name, attr.unit, Llim, Ulim, mu, sigma, n, n.batch,
alpha, coverprob, side, test.point)

Arguments

attr.name

user-defined attribute name for PPQ assessment
attr.unit

user-defined attribute unit
Llim

lower specification limit
Ulim

upper specification limit
mu

hypothetical mean of the attribute
sigma

hypothetical standard deviation of the attribute
n

sample size (number of locations) per batch
n.batch

number of batches for passing PPQ during validation
alpha

significant level for constructing the tolerance interval.
coverprob

coverage probability for constructing the tolerance interval
side

whether a 1-sided or 2-sided tolerance interval is required (determined by side = 1 or side = 2, respectively).
test.point

(optional) actual process data points for testing whether the processes pass PPQ

Value

Heatmap (or Contour Plot) for PPQ Assessment.
