Regression Analysis of Automatic Measurement Systems

In this paper, regression analysis is presented to analyze the comparative performance capability between two functionally equivalent but technologically different automatic measurement systems for acceptance testing of a unit under test (UUT). Since the pass/fail criteria of a UUT are contingent upon repeatable and reproducible accurate measurements, a methodology is presented to examine if there is a statistically significant difference between two functionally equivalent automatic measurement systems. The purpose of which is to reduce the technical risk of transportability issues that occur when a UUT is in transition from the legacy measurement system to an emerging measurement system.
