generates_model: Wrapper function to generate a model for a family of Taguchi (T) methods

Description

generates_model generates a model for a family of Taguchi (MT) methods. The model of T1 method, Ta method or the Tb method can be generated by passing a method name (character) into a parameter method.

Usage

generates_model(unit_space_data, signal_space_data, sample_data,
  method = c("T1", "Ta", "Tb"), subtracts_V_e = TRUE,
  includes_transformed_data = FALSE)

Arguments

unit_space_data

Used only for the T1 method. Matrix with n rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns (variables). The 1 ~ p th columns are independent variables and the (p + 1) th column is a dependent variable. Underlying data to obtain a representative point for the normalization of signal_space_data. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.

signal_space_data

Used only for the T1 method. Matrix with m rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns (variables). The 1 ~ p th columns are independent variables and the (p + 1) th column is a dependent variable. Underlying data to generate a prediction expression. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.

sample_data

Used for the Ta and the Tb methods. Matrix with n rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns (variables). The 1 ~ p th columns are independent variables and the (p + 1) th column is a dependent variable. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.

method

Character to designate a method. Currently, "MT", "MTA", and "RT" are available.

subtracts_V_e

If TRUE, then the error variance is subtracted in the numerator when calculating eta_hat.

includes_transformed_data

If TRUE, then the transformed data are included in a return object.

Value

A returned object depends on the selected method. See T1, Ta or Tb.
