Understanding of the Misuse Cases of Quantitative and Qualitative Regression Analysis
The research shows misuse cases of quantitative regression analysis used  in QC circle activity and six sigma movement which presents guidelines of correct  use for quality practitioners. Additionally, the qualitative regression analysis that responses nonconforming ratio of variable y, is reviewed based on misuse  cases for proper use by practitioners in the field. In most cases, there are frequent errors that involve the correlation analysis or ANOVA, regardless of using quantitative regression analysis. In addition, qualitative regression analysis for the nonconforming ratio that has dependent variable of discrete and categorical  data, is often applied with quantitative regression and result in ineffective quality improvement.
