The SPQR («Semper Paratus ad Qualitatem et Rationem») Principle in Action

Abstract

Abstract:We show an application of the SPQR Principle [«Semper Paratus ad Qualitatem et Rationem ("Always Ready for Quality and Rationality")»] as the way to analyse papers and books; it seems that very few people have taken care of Quality of Methods (Deming, Juran, Gell-Mann, Shewhart, Einstein, Galilei). The case analysed here is about a Design of Experiment application to Large-Scale Metrology and to Control Charts.

Quality of Papers Stems from Authors and Quality of Teaching Stems from Professors

“…To avoid that, this author invented the SPQR Principle [«Semper Paratus ad Qualitatem et Rationem (′′Always Ready for Quality and Rationality′′)»] as the way to analyse both books and papers [112] ; only that very few people have been considering carefully Quality of the Methods: e. g., Deming, Juran, Gell-Mann, Shewhart [3][4][5][6][7][8] . The author never met somebody else who did that... As a consequence, professors, researcher, managers, scholars and students have been learning wrong ideas, in the Quality field: there is worldwide used book with many wrong concepts {e.g., D. C. Montgomery falls in contradiction!…”

“…We will cite several times the QEG of a University; quite a few professors in QEG still suggest the Montgomery books to students; bad idea: see the case analysed in [112] which has various problems [11,12] . In the web (www.…”

“…In the paper [112] we analysed a case taken from a QEG book [32] (published by Springer-Verlag which apparentently is not an OAP!!! ); it is an application of DOE, as the one in Table 1 (where there are the data…).…”

A set of proofs of the Collatz-Syracuse conjecture

“…The document [6] is a "probabilistic proof" of the Conjecture, as it is [3]. The author's proof is based on the use of the stochastic processes given in his books [7,8] and on the SPQR Principle [9].…”

“…The document [13] "Collatz-Syracuse Conjecture, proof by Reliability Integral Theory" uses the stochastic processes given in the books [7,8] and on the SPQR Principle [9], applied to the 3 SuperStates [12].…”
