METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR EXCLUDING VARIATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUIPMENT FROM SPLIT ANALYSIS PROCEDURES
First Claim
1. A method for excluding variations attributable to equipment from split analysis procedures, the method including:
- identifying one or more dependent variables related to at least one of a split analysis or an experiment to be performed;
performing a test to ascertain whether or not a variation attributable to equipment exists with respect to any of the one or more identified dependent variables;
if a variation attributable to equipment exists, constructing a target data set and a training data set, the target data set including the identified dependent variables and the training data set comprising any data set from which a statistical model may be constructed;
identifying a signature for the variation attributable to equipment;
selecting a statistical model based upon the identified signature;
constructing the selected statistical model using the training data set to generate a statistical output;
joining the target data set with the statistical output; and
adjusting the identified dependent variables in the target data set using the statistical output.

Abstract
Excluding variations attributable to equipment from split analysis is performed by identifying dependent variables related to at least one of the split analysis or an experiment to be performed. A test is performed to ascertain whether or not a variation attributable to equipment exists with respect to any of the identified dependent variables. If such a variation exists, a target data set and a training data set are constructed. A signature is identified for the variation. A statistical model is selected based upon the identified signature. The selected statistical model is constructed using the training data set to generate a statistical output. The target data set is joined with the statistical output. The identified dependent variables in the target data set are adjusted using the statistical output. The target data set including the adjusted identified dependent variables is loaded to an application for performing split analysis.
