 <title>Attribute Gage R&amp;R Studies - Part 2</title>
 <link>http://www.spcforexcel.com/attribute-gage-rr-studies-part-2</link>
 <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;June 2010&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This is the second newsletter on attribute Gage R&amp;amp;R studies.  As stated last month, sometimes a measurement system has a measurement value that comes from a finite number of categories.  The easiest one of these is a go/no go gage.  This gage simply tells you if the part passes or it fails.  There are only two possible outcomes.  In the last newsletter, we use a simple go/no go gage to demonstrate how to compare the appraisers.  We used cross tabulation tables and calculated kappa values to compare the appraisers.
&lt;/p&gt;
