Abstract

Measurement data are collected to characterize a production run of devices that can then be analyzed to identify a reduced set of measurement points. Such measurement arrays can contain missing values. Missing data analysis methods are described, together with a graphical toolbox for executing the methods. This Users Guide describes the mathematical techniques and the utility of the toolbox in identifying an optimal approach in using the incomplete information in processes which expect complete information. The resultant measurements are shown to give an improved model of the device.
