MA4158 Statistical Applications in Textile Engineering Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To understand the basics of random variables and point estimation with emphasis on the standard distributions.
 To apply the small and large sample tests through Tests of hypothesis.
 To understand the concept of analysis of variance and use it to investigate non- parametric model.
 To monitor a process and detect a situation when the process is out of control.
 To apply the concept of analysis of variance and use it to investigate factorial dependence.

UNIT I PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION AND ESTIMATIONS

Applications of Binomial, Poisson, Normal, t, Exponential, Chi-square, F and Weibull distributions in textile engineering – Point estimates and interval estimations of the parameters of the distribution functions.

UNIT II HYPOTHESIS TESTING

Sampling distribution – Significance tests applicable to textile parameters – Normal test, t – test, Chi – square test and F – test – p-values – Selection of sample size and significance levels with relevance to textile applications – Acceptance sampling.

UNIT III ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE AND NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS

Analysis of variance for different models – Non – parametric tests – Sign test – Rank test – Concordance test.

UNIT IV PROCESS CONTROL AND CAPABILITY ANALYSIS

Control charts for variables and attributes – Basis, Development, Interpretation, Sensitizing rules, Average run length – Process capability analysis.

UNIT V DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS

2k full-factorial designs – Composite designs – Robust designs – Development of regression Models – Regression coefficients – Adequacy test – Process optimizations.

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS

COURSE OUTCOMES:
