2 unusual facts about Taguchi methods


C.F. Jeff Wu

He is known for his work on the convergence of the EM algorithm, resampling methods such as the bootstrap and jackknife, and industrial statistics, including design of experiments, and robust parameter design (Taguchi methods).

Robustification

Robustification as it is defined here is sometimes referred to as parameter design or Robust Parameter Design (RPD) and is often associated with Taguchi methods.


Orthogonal array

Orthogonal arrays played a central role in the development of Taguchi methods by Genichi Taguchi, which took place during his visit to Indian Statistical Institute in early 1950s.
