The CAPABILITY Procedure

COMPHISTOGRAM Statement

BARLABEL=COUNT | PERCENT | PROPORTION
displays labels above the histogram bars. You can specify BARLABEL=COUNT to display the number of observations associated with a given bar, BARLABEL=PERCENT to display the percentage of observations, and BARLABEL=PROPORTION to display the proportion of observations.

CLIPSPEC=CLIP | NOFILL
specifies that histogram bars are to be clipped at the upper and lower specification limit lines when there are no observations outside the specification limits. The bar intersecting the lower specification limit is clipped if there are no observations less than the lower limit; the bar intersecting the upper specification limit is clipped if there are no observations greater than the upper limit. If you specify CLIPSPEC=CLIP, histogram bars are truncated at the specification limits. If you specify CLIPSPEC=NOFILL, the portion of a filled histogram bar outside the specification limit is left unfilled. Specifying CLIPSPEC=NOFILL when histogram bars are not filled has no effect.

CTEXTSIDE=color
specifies the color of the row labels displayed along the left side of a comparative histogram. By default, the CTEXT= color is used for these labels.

CTEXTTOP=color
specifies the color of the column labels displayed along the top of a comparative histogram. By default, the CTEXT= color is used for these labels.

ENDPOINTS=value-list | KEY | UNIFORM
specifies that comparative histogram interval endpoints, rather than midpoints, are to be aligned with horizontal axis tick marks, and specifies how the endpoints are to be determined. The method you specify is used for all process variables analyzed with the COMPHISTOGRAM statement.

If you specify ENDPOINTS=value-list, the values must be listed in increasing order and must be evenly spaced. The number of endpoint values is one greater than the number of intervals in the resulting comparative histogram. The first value is the lower bound of the first interval and the last value is the upper bound of the last interval. If the range of the values does not cover the range of the data and any specification limits (LSL and USL) that are given, the list is extended in both directions as necessary to cover these values.

If you specify ENDPOINTS=KEY, the procedure first determines the endpoints for the data in the key cell. The initial number of intervals is based on the number of observations in the key cell using the method of Terrell and Scott (1985). The endpoint list for the key cell is then extended in both directions as necessary until it spans the data in the remaining cells. If the key cell contains no observations, the method of determining intervals reverts to ENDPOINTS=UNIFORM.

If you specify ENDPOINTS=UNIFORM, the procedure determines the endpoints using all the observations as if there were no cells. In other words, the number of endpoints is based on the total sample size using the method of Terrell and Scott (1985).
