 A secondary goal of the ESL is to develop software tools that
 allow implementation of new methodologies in practice. The following
 are programs developed as part of this effort. All the programs below

are distributed in the hope that they will be useful to the research

community, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.

 
 
 BH Program
 
 BH program is a software tool for computation and display of 
 confidence regions on the location of the stationary point of a
 quadratic response surface. The program runs under MAPLE version 5
 and version 6. For installation and step-by-step on how to run the 
 program, one can download the user's guide written in 
 Microsoft WORD.

 CONREG
 
  CONREG computes and displays the confidence regions for
 constrained optima. The program runs under MATLAB version 5.3. For 
 installation and step-by-step on how to run the program, one can 
 download the user's guide written in Microsoft WORD.

 muBoundS
 
 muBoundS is a software that aims to provide users with the
 ability to compute optimal bounded adjustment parameters for a
 multivariate bounded adjustment setting, either in the presence of 
 a fixed cost of adjustment or, in the absence of cost information, 
 with the help of Mean Squared Deviation (MSD) and Average Adjustment 
 Interval (AAI) values.

 SAUFAC
 
 SAUFAC is the computer program based on the paper on "Setup 
 Adjustment Under Unknown Process Parameters and Fixed Adjustment 
 Cost" by Z. Lian and E. del Castillo. It computes the control 
 tables for two cases of setup adjustment problems under fixed 
 adjustment cost, unknown-variance case (chart.R) and known-variance 
 case (chart_n.R). The user's manual and the complete package are 
 provided.

Adaptive Deadband Control
 
 The objective of this MATLAB-based software is to
assist users to adjust a production process, in which the mean of
the quality characteristic can drift randomly, in the presence of
a fixed adjustment cost. The discussion on this method can be
found in paper ``Adaptive Deadband Control of a Drifting Process
with Unknown Parameters".

GADOE
 This set of MATLAB .m programs find a DOE for Robust Parameter 
Design using a genetic optimization algorithm and accompanies the paper 
"A New Design Criterion for Robust Parameter Design". Extract all files 
into a folder on the MATLAB path. Type "help optimizeDOE.m" to see calling 
instructions (that is the initial program which calls all other functions).
